STARLIGHT - Sustainable Autonomy and Resilience for LEAs using AI against High priority ThreatsArtificial Intelligence 4 LEA

The increasing complexity of security challenges combined with the accumulation of significant amounts of digital data calls for better and more widespread use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities for law enforcement agencies (LEAs). AI can provide benefits to LEAs at all levels given the right understanding, tools, data and protection while increased awareness of criminal misuse is providing an immediate and concerning threat that must be tackled rapidly.

The goal of the EU-funded STARLIGHT project is to increase awareness, ability, adoption, and long-term results of AI applications in European LEAs. STARLIGHT provides solutions to improve the widespread understanding of AI across LEAs, which will reinforce their investigative and cybersecurity operations and support legal, ethical, and societal values.

STARLIGHT presents an inclusive and sustainable vision for increasing the awareness, capability, adoption, and long-term impact of AI in Europe for LEAs. By offering opportunities to exploit AI tools and solutions, STARLIGHT ensures LEAs can protect their own AI systems, and increase LEA expertise and capacity against AI-supported crime and terrorism. The project will raise high-quality datasets, an interoperable and standardised framework, and an AI hub to enhance the EU’s strategic autonomy in AI. STARLIGHT will support European LEAs to lead the way in AI innovation, autonomy and resilience, addressing the challenges of now and the future, prioritising the safety and security of Europe for all.
