Artificial Intelligence in Enhancing Public Safety: Perspectives from Law, Technology, and Sociology

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in enhancing public safety, integrating law, technology, and sociology to create safer communities. This article explores the role of AI in public safety from three critical perspectives: the legal, technological, and sociological implications. While AI offers promising solutions for crime prevention, emergency response, and surveillance, its integration also presents significant challenges in terms of privacy, ethical considerations, and societal impact. Through examining legal frameworks, technological innovations, and social responses to AI-driven public safety measures, this study provides an interdisciplinary perspective on how AI is reshaping the future of public safety in Pakistan. The paper discusses current applications, risks, and proposes a balanced approach for integrating AI into the public safety sector while addressing legal, technological, and sociological concerns.
