ARtificial IntelligencE in fighting illicit drugs production and traffickiNg

ARIEN建议执行一项全面的工作计划，彻底解决与2021-2025年欧盟毒品行动计划（DAP）相一致的呼叫主题，通过整体创新行动实现，该行动通过人工智能驱动的工具来了解，检测，分析和跟踪整个毒品贩运链，它的资金流动和黑市在全球暗网中的作用及其与社交媒体的关系。ARIEN建立在一个强大的多学科研究平台上，遵循共同创造的方法，跨越犯罪学，社会和立法领域，将提出协调建议，并推动模块化解决方案的开发议程，嵌入现代人工智能（AI）技术和最佳实践，以符合法律和道德的方式在数据丰富的环境中进行国际合作。为了提高执法机构对非法毒品生产和贩运的调查能力，ARIEN将利用创新的人工智能技术来监控在线非法毒品市场，并通过社交媒体收集有关实体毒品交易热点的宝贵信息。在可解释的人工智能（XAI）方法的支持下，额外的分析层将通过与犯罪记录数据的整合和在线活动的检测，提供关于毒品和毒品相关有组织犯罪网络的作案手法和新出现的威胁和趋势的可操作知识。此外，ARIEN将促进欧盟和非欧盟执法机构、海关和边防局以及政策制定者之间的有效国际合作战略，以加强对犯罪集团的调查活动，利用有效的人工智能技术。

ARIEN proposes the execution of a comprehensive workplan that thoroughly addresses the call topic aligned to the 2021-2025 EU Drugs Action Plan (DAP) achieved through a holistic innovation action that builds a real-time intelligence picture illegal drug production and trafficking incidence across the EU bolstered by AI-driven tools to understand, detect, analyse and track the entire drugs trafficking chain, its financial flows and the role of black-markets in the global darknet and their relationships with of social media. ARIEN builds on a strong platform of multi-disciplinary research, following a co-creation approach, across the criminological, societal, and legislative landscapes that will make recommendations for harmonization and drive an agenda for the development of modular solutions embedding modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques and best practices for international cooperation in data-rich environments in a legally and ethically compliant manner. Aiming at improving the investigative capability of LEAs on illegal drugs production and trafficking, ARIEN will leverage on innovative AI techniques to monitor online illicit drugs markets and collecting precious information on physical drug-dealing hotspots through social media. Additional layers of analysis, supported by explainable AI (XAI) methods, will provide actionable knowledge on modus operandi and emerging threats and trends both on drugs and drug-related organized crime networks through integrations with criminal records data and detection of online activities. Moreover, ARIEN will promote effective strategies on international cooperation among EU and non-EU LEAs, Customs and Border Guards Authorities and policy makers to enhance investigative activities against criminal groups, capitalising on effective AI techniques.
