The technology is billed as a “virtual sergeant” — an omnipresent artificial intelligence capable of reviewing every minute of every police officer’s body camera footage across an entire department, analyzing how each officer handled every call.

The Aurora Police Department plans to implement just such AI tech in the near future, becoming the first law enforcement agency in Colorado to do so.uses artificial intelligence software

The Aurora Police Department, like many other law enforcement agencies, does not have the bandwidth to review the thousands of hours of body camera footage recorded every week, interim Chief Art Acevedo said. Not only will the technology help the department identify questionable actions by officers, but it will also find examples of good work.

The technology can tell whether an officer uses force by looking for phrases like “stop resisting” and flag the footage — even if the officer doesn’t report a use-of-force incident, Tassone said. The technology doesn’t analyze tone, cadence or volume and instead only focuses on the words spoken, he said.

I've seen robocop. This doesn't sound good.

Maybe the AI will get them to stop murdering skinny black autistic kids

Of course it only works when the cameras are actually on..

Wait he works over there now? He was Austin's police chief then Miami and now Aurora? He moves around a lot.

They need something new, that’s for sure.

Now they can say 'the footage was reviewed by a neutral AI, and nothing was found to be concerned about.'

If only the media could be held to the same standards and scrutiny. As they say, the pen is mightier than the sword. But alas, the media corruption will go on unchecked.

What could possibly go wrong?

This oughta work out great
