Descripción del proyecto
Previsión estratégica en la elaboración de políticas policiales
La aparición de tecnologías disruptivas como la inteligencia artificial y la realidad virtual plantea retos a las fuerzas del orden y a los profesionales de la seguridad civil. Deben anticiparse a los avances tecnológicos, identificar posibles amenazas y transformarlas en oportunidades. Aunque la previsión tecnológica es una solución viable, es imperativo no depender únicamente de los métodos basados en la vigilancia tecnológica. El equipo del proyecto AHEAD, financiado con fondos europeos, establecerá un marco de previsión de la seguridad civil sostenible y basado en las capacidades mediante la adopción de un método exhaustivo e integral. Dicho marco se pondrá a prueba con el objetivo de ofrecer líneas de actuación prácticas que puedan ayudar a los responsables de la toma de decisiones y la elaboración de políticas tanto a nivel nacional como de la Unión Europea. En última instancia, el equipo del proyecto pretende integrar la prospectiva estratégica de forma más sistemática en el proceso de elaboración de políticas.
Objetivo
With the rise of potentially disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality, a particular challenge has emerged for LEAs and other civil security practitioners. Tasked with fostering safe societies and protecting European citizens from new forms of criminality, they need to pre-empt technological evolutions, turning potential threats into opportunities, and anticipate the operational future of policing.
Technology foresight is one possible anticipatory process. However, pure technology watch-based approaches are not helpful for decision-making if not embedded in a qualitative assessment of threats and capabilities. Hence the need to move towards a comprehensive foresight framework which is the rationale behind AHEAD.
Standing for TowArd TecHnological ForEsight for IncreAseD Security, AHEAD is a LEA-led project which will adopt a 360-degree approach accounting for megatrends but also contextual elements (i.e. legal, ethical, societal and economic) to design and operationalise a sustainable capability-based civil security foresight framework. Tested through iterative Foresight Exercises addressing the five Destinations of the Horizon Europe Cluster 3 (Fighting crime and terrorism, Border management, Resilient infrastructure, Increased cybersecurity and Disaster-resilient society), this framework will be tailored to the needs of civil security practitioners to generate “evidence-based” capability roadmaps.
Such roadmaps will translate the foresight process’ outcomes into concrete courses of actions to support decision- and policy-makers at EU and national levels when deciding on strategies and policy actions in the field of civil security, including the programming of security research and innovation investments. By enhancing a forward-looking culture in civil security, AHEAD will contribute to the strategy put forward in the European Commission's Foresight Agenda to embed in a more systematic way strategic foresight into policy-making.
