In the era of big data and artificial intelligence (AI), where aggregated data is used to learn about patterns and for decision-making, quality of input data seems to be of paramount importance. Poor data quality may lead not only to wrong outcomes, which will simply render the application useless, but more importantly to fundamental rights breaches and undermined trust in the public authorities using such applications. In law enforcement as in other sectors the question of how to ensure that data used for the development of big data and AI applications meet quality standards remains.

In law enforcement, as in other sectors, the key element of ensuring quality and reliability of big data and AI apps is the quality of raw material. However, the negative effects of flawed data quality in this context extend far beyond the typical ramifications, since they may lead to wrong and biased decisions producing adverse legal or factual consequences for individuals,Footnote11 such as detention, being a target of infiltration or a subject of investigation or other intrusive measures (e.g., a computer search).
