الملخص الإنجليزي
This study aims to shed light on artificial intelligence, to understand the concept
of this modern technology, and the extent to which the Sultanate of Oman benefits
from its various applications in security work. It also addresses the challenges facing
the use of artificial intelligence techniques in security work, and ways to confront
them. The study relied on the descriptive approach, through which the focus was on
defining artificial intelligence and its various technologies, explaining its importance
in the field of security work, and the challenges facing benefiting from its various
applications in the Sultanate. Researcher also followed the analytical approach,
which is the approach that is based on collecting facts and information from their
primary sources, analyzing and organizing them for the purpose of achieving the
research objectives and arriving at the most important results and recommendations
that contribute to strengthening the security work system using modern technology.
The study reached a set of results, most notably the Sultanate of Oman’s keenness to
employ artificial intelligence techniques in the security work sector, out of its belief in
the importance of supplying this vital sector with advanced technology and modern
techniques. The study also showed the diversity of areas of use of artificial intelligence
technologies in the security field, such as: predictive policing, mine detection
programs, facial recognition, drones, robots, etc., and that most artificial intelligence
applications were designed for commercial purposes, which may pose a difficulty in
employing them in the security field. In addition, the extent to which the use of some
artificial intelligence applications conflicts with the rights guaranteed by international
laws, charters, treaties and agreements, such as violating the right to privacy, including
monitoring communications and social media accounts, and freedom of expression
of opinion. Finally, the research concluded with a number of recommendations, the
most important of which is working to employ artificial intelligence applications in
the security work sector, in a way that ensures that human privacy and freedom and
the laws regulating them are not violated, with the necessity of qualifying and training
Omani cadres in the field of artificial intelligence techniques, and employing them in
the security field. To keep pace with global developments in this field.
