Abstract

Transnational crime, ranging from human trafficking and drug smuggling to cybercrime and terrorism, presents an increasingly complex challenge to global security. The interconnectedness of the modern world, coupled with advancements in communication and transportation technologies, has enabled criminal networks to operate with greater efficiency and secrecy, exploiting legal loopholes and jurisdictional limitations. Traditional law enforcement methods have struggled to keep pace with these evolving threats. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in the fight against transnational crime, offering real-time data analysis, pattern recognition, and predictive capabilities that enhance law enforcement efforts. This study critically assesses the role of AI technologies, such as machine learning, predictive analytics, and biometric systems, in detecting, preventing, and eradicating transnational crimes, including cybercrime, human trafficking, and terrorism. To assess AI’s effectiveness, this study uses a mix of doctrinal and quantitative research technique, referencing case studies and comparative analysis from various institutional and geographic contexts. This methodology facilitated the organized gathering, analysis, and interpretation of data, concentrating on the tangible effects of AI systems in law enforcement. The study emphasizes AI’s capacity to transform crime prevention and investigation, addressing ethical, legal, and operational obstacles like data privacy issues, algorithmic bias, and the need for international collaboration. The report advocates for uniform legal frameworks and international collaboration, offering proposals that reconcile technological progress with the safeguarding of human rights, with the objective of facilitating responsible AI inclusion in global security efforts.
