Kathmandu Post reports that Nepal Police are set to implement artificial intelligence tools to aid in crime prevention and law enforcement operations. The initiative aims to modernize Nepal’s policing methods by using AI for predictive crime analysis, facial recognition, and enhanced surveillance.

The AI systems will help law enforcement agencies analyze large volumes of crime data, identify patterns, and predict high-risk areas where criminal activity is likely to occur. Nepal Police officials believe this technology will improve crime response times, aid in investigations, and enhance overall public safety.

While the move has been widely praised for its potential to modernize law enforcement, some civil rights advocates have raised concerns about data privacy, surveillance overreach, and the potential for bias in AI algorithms. Nepalese lawmakers are reviewing these concerns to ensure the initiative complies with ethical standards and data protection laws.
