Confidential document reveals key human role in gunshot tech

But a confidential ShotSpotter document obtained by The Associated Press outlines something the company doesn’t always tout about its “precision policing system” — that human employees can quickly overrule and reverse the algorithm’s determinations, and are given broad discretion to decide if a sound is a gunshot, fireworks, thunder or something else.

ShotSpotter said in a statement to the AP that the human role is a positive check on the algorithm and the “plain-language” document reflects the high standards of accuracy its reviewers must meet. “End result: It trains the reviewer to be decisive and accurate in their classification and attempts to remove a doubtful publication,” the document reads.

The Cook County Public Defender’s Office says the operations document was the only paperwork ShotSpotter sent in response to multiple subpoenas for any guidelines, manuals or other scientific protocols. TheShotSpotter “Classification is the hardest element of the process,” Greene said in the hearing. “Simply because we do not have ... control over the environment in which the shots are fired.”

Experts say the extensive role of reviewers to backstop ShotSpotter’s gunshot-detection algorithm could bring in subjectivity and conflict with why artificial intelligence is often used in law-enforcement tools: to lessen the role of fallible humans. watch dogs shit like those stupid car exhausts
