Description du projet
Prévoyance stratégique dans l’élaboration des politiques en matière d’application de la loi
L’émergence de technologies révolutionnaires telles que l’IA et la réalité virtuelle pose des défis aux praticiens de l’application de la loi et de la sécurité civile. Ils sont tenus d’anticiper les avancées technologiques, d’identifier les menaces potentielles et de les transformer en opportunités. Si la prévoyance technologique est une solution viable, il est impératif de ne pas s’appuyer uniquement sur des approches fondées sur la veille technologique. Le projet AHEAD, financé par l’UE, établira un cadre de prévoyance de la sécurité civile durable et basé sur les capacités, en adoptant une approche globale à 360 degrés. Ce cadre sera testé dans le but d’offrir des pistes d’action pratiques susceptibles d’aider les décideurs et les responsables politiques, tant au niveau européen que national. En définitive, le projet vise à intégrer plus systématiquement la prévoyance stratégique dans le processus d’élaboration des politiques.
Objectif
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.
