AI is transforming law enforcement operations, but as a force multiplier rather than a workforce reducer. AI will augment investigative work, administrative tasks and surveillance. Functions like human judgment, community engagement, physical intervention and accountability, are unlikely to be automated within this timeframe.

There is no way our society would be okay with automated police officers. Furthermore, I expect the risk of societal instability to increase over the next decade as AI becomes a major destabilizing force, both as a result of huge job losses across certain sectors as well as the general chaos that ensues from a society radically transformed by AI.

This seems like a category where AI mostly acts as an augmenter rather than a direct substitute through 2030. Better report writing, search, scheduling, evidence review, and surveillance could make each worker more productive, but the state still needs a person physically present to exercise authority. By 2035, I can imagine more pressure from computer vision, automated monitoring, and perhaps some autonomous systems, but I still think the physical/legal-human component is unusually strong here.
