Meet the AI-generated Irakli Beridze: a digital version powered by artificial intelligence, sharing real expertise and human knowledge, where technology is the tool and humanity is the purpose.
Unlocking AI potential while addressing its risks is central to the work of UNICRI’s Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, helping to prevent crime, strengthen justice, protect vulnerable communities and safeguard human rights.
Irakli Beridze, Head of the Centre, explains how UNICRI supports governments and criminal justice practitioners in harnessing the opportunities of AI while addressing its risks.
In collaboration with INTERPOL, the Centre developed the Toolkit for Responsible AI Innovation in Law Enforcement, providing practical guidance on the responsible use of AI. This work has since been expanded to support senior law enforcement leadership in strategic planning, decision-making and the development of responsible AI strategies.
Through the AI for Safer Children initiative, developed in partnership with the Ministry of Interior of the United Arab Emirates, the Centre brings together investigators from more than half of the world's countries, providing access to over 100 AI tools to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse, alongside specialized training and international knowledge-sharing.
Beyond law enforcement, the Centre extends its commitment to civil society, judges, children, families, teachers and citizens, helping them understand and navigate the opportunities and challenges of rapidly evolving technologies.
From the UNICRI AI Centre to the world, the mission is clear: technology is the tool, humanity is the purpose.
