Bringing together top voices in homeland security, Milipol Paris 2025’s AI-themed conference tackles the most pressing challenges in homeland security with a rich, international programme designed for real-world impact.

Milipol Paris 2025 has unveiled the preliminary programme for its official conference series, set to take place from 18 to 21 November around the theme “Homeland Security and Artificial Intelligence.”

This year the programme has been designed for the first time by Sébastien Aguilar— a forensic officer at the Paris Police Prefecture and founding president of FORENSEEK. An author and consultant, Aguilar brings a fresh, practitioner-led perspective to a four-day programme that will bring together international experts, researchers, field specialists and decision-makers to explore how AI is transforming the security landscape. From investigations and cold cases to cybercrime and disaster response, the sessions will address both current realities and future challenges, offering an enriching and forward-thinking agenda.

Investigations, forensics and ethical innovation

The conference opens with a deep dive into “Artificial Intelligence in the Service of Homeland Security: Promises, Challenges, and Perspectives”, offering a comprehensive look at how AI is being used across internal security systems. It will explore strategic dependencies, data governance, and operational transformations in areas such as intelligence, investigations and justice, through a mix of panel discussions and TEDx-style talks.

The conversation continues with a session dedicated to “Artificial Intelligence and Crime: What Innovations are Transforming Investigations and Evidence Management?” This will focus on the cutting-edge technologies transforming investigations, including augmented crime scenes, behavioural detection and digital evidence handling. The session will also address the ethical and legal frameworks needed to support such innovations. Later, “Forensic Science and Artificial Intelligence: A New Era for Cold Cases” will turn the spotlight on unsolved investigations, with a special focus on cold cases. Topics include forensic genealogy, missing person identification and the groundbreaking initiative in Nanterre focused on long-term investigations.

Cybercrime, data strategy and post-crisis response

“Data and Artificial Intelligence: What Challenges do they Pose for Homeland Security?” will examine the growing role of digital tools in preventing and dismantling homeland security threats. Case studies will highlight how data analysis is used in weapon traceability, mapping illicit networks, and combatting online exploitation—underscoring the strategic value of forensic data in homeland security.

“Forensic Analysis and Cybercrime”, a high-level session exploring the latest digital forensics techniques. With contributions from cybercrime prosecutors, dark web specialists and digital fraud experts, the session will look at how technologies such as AI, blockchain and connected devices are reshaping the fight against invisible threats.

“Post-Disaster Identification: The Convergence of Forensic Biometric and Digital Data”, will explore the intersection of forensic, biometric and AI technologies in post-disaster identification. Based on field feedback from INTERPOL, EUROPOL and forensic experts, this event will address the need for an interoperable global platform to identify victims and restore identities in crisis contexts.

With its strong international scope and focus on innovation, the Milipol Paris 2025 conference programme signals a bold step forward in aligning technological progress with operational and ethical imperatives. As anticipation builds, the upcoming announcement of speakers is set to further enhance what promises to be a compelling and timely edition of the Milipol Paris conference series.
