Honolulu police looking into using AI in body-worn cameras
The Honolulu Police Department is looking into using artificial intelligence in their body-worn cameras to help transcribe and write their reports. HPD’s current body-worn camera vendor has a product that allows for artificial intelligence, according to Vanic.
“Both audio and visual to see what the officer is seeing and hearing, take that information and generate a police report,” he said. “They still have to enter headings, they still have to have human input, not just completely, ‘That’s your report.’ It’s just they wouldn’t have to write it from scratch.”
"Rushing in to change the way that police evidence is handled is an incredibly reckless decision that puts prosecutions at risk, officers’ jobs in jeopardy, and our department’s reputation on the line. The undisputed truth is that AI makes factual errors—all the time. A police report influenced by AI is every criminal defense attorney’s dream," Nick Schlapak, SHOPO President.
