TODAY’S STORY
Police stations are experimenting with artificial intelligence (AI) to save them the headache of writing up police reports. What could go wrong? Well, quite a bit:
A Politico survey found that once an AI-generated police report goes into the system, some departments were unable to tell which ones were drafted with AI and which by humans
Some legal professionals question whether these AI-generated reports will hold up in court
What to watch next: Before the consequences of non-disclosed AI-generated police reports rear their ugly head, lawmakers are expected to propose regulations similar to the policy pushes against AI-generated political ads.
AI can potentially improve police officers' work in more ways than just saving them time, but it could also have significant consequences if they implement the technology prematurely without considering all the edge cases.
