This Flash Report provides an overview of the latest ENACT publication, AI and Implications on Victims, examining how artificial intelligence is reshaping the nature of harm, victimisation, and protection across security, justice, and wider society. It reviews the issue through four complementary perspectives – capabilities, technology, market dynamics, and ethical, legal and societal considerations – highlighting both the opportunities AI offers for faster detection, improved support and broader reach, as well as the risks linked to opacity, bias, large-scale harm and fragmented accountability. The report concludes by emphasising the need for victim-centred AI governance, stronger safeguards, and the consistent integration of transparency, human oversight and accessible redress mechanisms throughout the AI lifecycle.
