One of the challenges with law enforcement is that we set a high bar for the types of technologies and tools that we adopt. They have to be legal. We have to make sure that they respect the privacy of Canadians. The process of how you actually vet those and then operationalize them can often take a long time. Cybercriminals and other criminals don't operate by those rules. The first bad AI that can be accessed, they're going to jump on and figure out ways to do that.
There's always this sort of cat and mouse game of what new technologies the criminals are going to adopt. Part of what my centre does is work with as many police services across the country as possible to share information and come up with coordinated approaches to go after them, either before they can use these new tools or at the early onset.
