Ce colloque sera dédié à l’exposition d’une perspective générale de la question de l’enquête par l’IA avec la présentation de certains usages liés aux infractions traditionnelles ainsi qu’aux usages de l’IA en matière d’enquêtes de nouvelles formes d’infractions comme la cybercriminalité. Il offre une opportunité de comparer les points de vue et les approches des chercheurs de centres de recherches européens (Allemagne, Belgique, Espagne, France, Luxembourg, Irlande du Nord, Pays-Bas et Portugal) en informatique et en droit (droit pénal, droit de la protection des données personnelles), ainsi que les contributions des professionnels de l’enquête pénale. Avec son approche interdisciplinaire (droit, informatique mais aussi questions sociologiques, philosophiques et politiques), ce colloque fait le point sur les enjeux au sein des organismes publics et criminels et examine les conséquences et impacts potentiellement perturbateurs inhérents à son déploiement.
Comment l’IA utilise-t-elle concrètement le traitement des données personnelles pour l’amélioration des enquêtes criminelles, et comment fonctionne cela d’un point de vue informatique (mise en œuvre technique du principe de « confidentialité dès la conception ») ? Quels sont ses défis juridiques en matière de vie privée ? Tels sont les questionnements autour desquels s'articule ce colloque.
Le colloque se tiendra en deux temps avec une première partie à Sarrebruck (Allemagne) les 6 et 7 mars 2025 et une seconde partie à Strasbourg les 15 et 16 mai 2025.
