*this session will take place via Microsoft teams. If you have registered to attend, you will receive the joining details on Monday 8 March by 15.00hrs. 

techUK’s Justice & Emergency Services, and Tech & Innovation Programmes have teamed up to deliver this session focusing on new transformative technologies shaping policing including cloud computing, intelligent automation and artificial intelligence.

This session will focus on the practical application of these technologies, barriers to adoption but also those use-cases in which these technologies have been successfully embraced. 

With the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic now, more than ever, we are seeing UK Public Sectors from health to policing undergoing change through digital transformation – and at pace! We have seen the pressure on our emergency services and the ongoing challenges being faced by our blue lights but, more broadly speaking, the continuous change in crime landscape. With this, it is clear policing needs to evolve and adapt to this change and deliver a more secure and fast approach to responding to the evolving situation and these changes. How can Intelligent Automation, Cloud and Artificial Intelligence support policing?

We see Intelligent automation having the capacity to revolutionise business services across a variety of industries through driving optimisation, enhancing digitisation and building resilience. Cloud technology offering substantial benefits to forces from cost savings to rapid deployment, and artificial intelligence used as a tool for crime prevention through, for example – predictive policing. Clearly, huge value and huge potential for the use of these technologies, but what are those challenges and what more can we do or learn about the use of these technologies?

Sign up and join us for this session where we will hopefully answer all these questions!
