Artificial Intelligence Humanoids Counter-Terrorism Interrogation Legal Admissibility Data Analysis AI-Driven SystemsAbstract
This study examines the integration of humanoids based on artificial intelligence (AI) in high-end terrorism interrogations, focusing on their potential to enhance accuracy while mitigating human biases. Employing a mixed-methods approach, it analyzes legal frameworks, ethical considerations, and AI performance in simulated interrogations. Findings indicate while AI improves data processing, it presents ethical challenges, including privacy concerns and algorithmic biases. Legal quibbles regarding accountability and evidence admissibility necessitate regulatory updates. The study concludes that AI-assisted interrogations require comprehensive legal frameworks, stringent human oversight, and adherence to human rights standards to ensure ethical and legally sound applications in counter-terrorism policies.
