Activity39/2026/ONS: Artificial Intelligence
The emerging use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in police investigations is transforming the way authorities detect, analyse, and respond to complex threats. At the same time, criminals and hostile actors are increasingly exploiting AI to produce and spread AI-driven crime schemes more efficiently, making it harder to recognise and counter.
The primarily goal of this training is to enhance police authorities’ understanding of artificial intelligence tools and its impact on both society and police operations. AI-driven crime schemes have become a growing concern, affecting political stability and social cohesion. Participants will be empowered to identify AI-driven schemes early, analyse its extent in various settings, and assess its potential future course. This training will also present AI-based support tools that assist in detecting and analysing AI-driven crime schemes. By leveraging these tools, participants will be better equipped to implement timely and effective responses, including recommending suitable police measures to mitigate the influence of AI-driven crime schemes on public safety.
EMPACT training activity
Combatting new forms of organised crime requires more cooperation between police and gendarmes, customs officers, border guards, judges, and prosecutors. EU institutions, agencies and Member States work together to tackle organised and serious international crime through a permanent and key instrument: the European Multidisciplinary Platform Against Criminal Threats (EMPACT).
CEPOL plays a crucial role in the EMPACT mechanism through the provision of specialised training and the identification of training needs within each common security threat. Every year, CEPOL provides a comprehensive training package for each common EU crime priority consisting of onsite, online and exchange training activities.

Target audience
Police officers and analysts responsible for assessing and combatting AI-driven crime schemes, as well as those involved in the creation and updating of daily situation reports and in direct police interventions. These individuals are on the frontlines of identifying and managing societal risks linked to AI-driven crime schemes, making them critical to the implementation of timely and effective countermeasures. By focusing on this group, the training seeks to enhance their decision making capabilities and operational readiness, ensuring that they are better equipped to respond to emerging threats in an increasingly complex AI-driven landscape.
