# AI Detective Systems VALCRI is a Semi-Automated Algorithm for Criminal Intelligence Analysis By Alyson Wyers | Published 2017-05-26 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/criminal-intelligence-analysis References: [springwise](https://www.springwise.com/eu-police-forces-trialling-ai-detectives/) & [valcri.org](http://valcri.org/) Artificial intelligence is being used to change a wide variety of industries, from graphic design algorithms to manufacturing, and now criminal intelligence analysis. The algorithmic technology is also reminiscent of the sort of [pre-emptive crime prevention](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-risk-system) seen in [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whatshouldiwatchai) films like Minority Report. Valcri (Visual Analytics for sense-making in Criminal Intelligence analysis) employs "a system that facilitates human reasoning and analytic discourse, tightly coupled with [semi-automated human-mediated semantic knowledge extraction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intelligence-layer)." In addition to aiding police forces by suggesting potentially overlooked lines of inquiry in a case, the AI algorithm also claims to be able to pre-empt crime. The intelligence-led policing system helps criminal intelligence analysts navigate data better, put historical data in context and visualize information more clearly. Its semi-automated nature also means it evolves over time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Artificial Intelligence in Criminal Intelligence Analysis:** The AI algorithm Valcri revolutionizes criminal intelligence analysis by assisting in data navigation, contextualizing historical data, and visualizing information more clearly. - **Intelligence-led Policing:** Valcri's semi-automated system enables intelligence-led policing by suggesting overlooked lines of inquiry in criminal cases and evolving over time. - **Pre-emptive Crime Prevention:** Valcri's AI technology has the potential to pre-empt crime by using algorithmic analysis to detect patterns and provide valuable insights for law enforcement agencies. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Law Enforcement:** Valcri's AI detective system disrupts the law enforcement industry by enhancing criminal intelligence analysis and aiding police forces in solving cases more efficiently. - **Data Analytics:** Valcri's algorithmic technology creates opportunities for the data analytics industry by providing advanced tools for navigating and visualizing complex criminal intelligence data. - **Artificial Intelligence:** Valcri's AI algorithm demonstrates disruptive innovation in the artificial intelligence industry by pushing the boundaries of how AI can be applied to criminal intelligence analysis and pre-emptive crime prevention. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Enhanced Fraud Detection Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fraud-detection-and-loss-prevention.md) - [AI Implementation Software Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oxipital-ai1.md) - [Investigation-Focused License Plate Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/investigative-tool.md) - [AI Video Editors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aivlog.md) - [AI Competitive Intelligence Software](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klue-compete-agent.md) - [AI Data Insights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartlyze.md) - [AI Property Insights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realie.md) - [Fraud Intelligence Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scam-ai.md) - [AI-Powered Forensic Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-forensic.md)
