In the United States, a revolutionary new technology called Draft One is transforming the way police reports are created. Developed by Axon, this AI tool uses OpenAI’s GPT-4 Turbo model to transcribe audio from police body cameras and automatically generate a police report. This technology is saving police officers valuable time by allowing them to review the document for accuracy instead of spending hours writing reports manually.
Early testers, such as the Fort Collins Police Department in Colorado, have reported an impressive 82 percent decrease in time spent writing reports. However, concerns have been raised about the use of AI-generated reports as evidence in criminal trials. Critics worry that AI may not be able to correctly interpret language and identify potential biases, especially in cases involving sensitive issues like race. Dave Maass of the Electronic Frontier Foundation has highlighted the risks of AI-generated reports influencing decisions in the criminal justice system.
Axon is cautious about using Draft One for serious incidents, such as police shootings, where crucial information could be missed. While some police departments are using the tool for minor crimes, others are also using it for more significant incidents, including use-of-force cases. Axon emphasizes the importance of proper oversight and training for law enforcement personnel to ensure that this technology is used appropriately and ethically.
