Machine intelligence joins the ranks of police officers to facilitate their work.
Oklahoma City Police have begun using artificial intelligence to create police reports. Officers note significant time savings and high quality of final documents. Previously, it took up to 45 minutes to compile a report, but now artificial intelligence copes with the task in seconds.
The system is based on technology similar to that of ChatGPT. The tool analyzes audio recordings and radio exchanges made with microphones on officers bodies and generates detailed reports. The Draft One tool is developed by Axon, which is known in the market as a supplier of stun guns and video cameras for law enforcement.

Oklahoma City Police Sergeant Matt Gilmore shared his experience using the AI tool. Gilmour noted that the report generated in 8 seconds was not only accurate, but also contained details that he himself did not notice during the work, such as another officer's mention of the color of the suspects car. As noted in the police, after the officer uploaded the video to the system, the report was ready literally in seconds, and the officer did not have to make any changes.

However, not everyone is optimistic about the innovation. Some human rights activists, prosecutors and lawyers have raised concerns about the impact of AI on the legal system. The main concern is that AI reports could change the decision-making process for harassment and punishment. Questions are emerging about how much officers will rely on AI, and how this might affect witness testimony in court. It is important that the officers themselves, and not just the AI, are responsible for the content of the reports.
Activists also expressed concern about possible biases built into AI technologies and their impact on vulnerable populations. According to human rights activists, the automation of reports can increase control over communities and complicate the life of representatives of racial minorities.
Despite the criticism, Draft One's technology is already being used in a number of cities, including Lafayette, Indiana, and Fort Collins, Colorado, where officers are free to use AI to report any incidents, except in cases involving serious crimes.
The use of AI in police practice is a new step in the development of technology, which, according to experts, could become ubiquitous in the coming years. However, before that happens, there needs to be a deeper public discussion about the potential benefits and risks. With the growing popularity of Draft One, it is expected that police officers will increasingly use verbal descriptions of events to better capture important details.
