About the project

During a 20 week project our team investigated the future of policing and the use of technologies such as artificial intelligence in particular. What do the digital natives who live and work in the Netherlands think about the police using facial recognition software? Do they feel safer or less safe when they know the police is using video analysis? Through literature studies, rapid prototyping and user testing we gained insight into the people’s perceptions of the police and opinions with regards to safety in the future.
