Samenvatting

In this article the authors explore the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the public safety domain at the example of the Living Lab Scheveningen (LLS). The boulevard of Scheveningen serves as a testing ground for experimenting with AI applications. Examples include maritime vessel detection, nitrous oxide detection, crowd density measurement, and predicting crowd levels. Not all experiments prove successful, but the knowledge gained from these experiments remains valuable. To study innovative AI applications, also innovative research concepts and methods are necessary (such as inclusive AI, ELSA, Quintuple Helix). The authors discuss the ethical, legal, and social aspects and democratic challenges of AI applications in the public safety domain.
