人工智能被用于打击网络极端化——现在它将帮助保护议员。堪培拉——澳大利亚联邦警察希望通过利用为反恐和检测网络极端化而开发的技术能力（包括人工智能），并将其应用于针对公职人员的威胁，来加强对议员的保护。
Artificial intelligence is used in the fight against radicalization online — now it will help protect MPs CANBERRA – The Australian Federal Police wants to bolster protection of parliamentarians by using technological capabilities including artificial intelligence developed for counter-terrorism and detecting radicalization online and applying them to threats against public officials.
周三，在就指控一名43岁男子驾车袭击独立议员海伦·海恩斯一事举行的新闻发布会上，联邦警察专员克里西·巴雷特承认，为所有226名联邦议员提供个人保护是不可行的。她表示，增强技术能力是解决方案的一部分。
At a press conference on Wednesday to discuss charges laid against the 43-year-old alleged to have attacked independent MP Helen Haines with his vehicle, AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett conceded it was not feasible to provide personal protection for all 226 federal parliamentarians. She said that increased technological capabilities are part of the solution.
巴雷特周三表示，联邦警察的国家安全调查团队“几乎每周都会指控一名针对联邦议员或高级职位持有者的个人”。过去一年，针对高级职位持有者的骚扰和威胁行为报告从951起增加到1067起。
The AFP’s national security investigations teams “are charging almost one individual every week for targeting commonwealth parliamentarians or high office-holders”, Barrett said on Wednesday. Reports of harassing and threatening behavior towards high office holders have increased in the past year from 951 to 1,067.
虽然联邦警察在海恩斯遇袭前没有掌握“具体情报”，但巴雷特表示，“我们绝对主动利用在线能力收集情报。作为专员，我的一大重点是：我们如何更好地利用技术？”
While AFP had no “specific intelligence” leading up to the Haines attack, Barrett said “we absolutely do proactively use online capabilities to gather intelligence. A huge part of my priority as the commissioner is: how do we better utilize technology?”
