The Anchorage Police Department (APD) concluded a three-month trial of Axon's AI report-writing tool, Draft One, and opted not to adopt the technology. The APD found that the software, which utilizes audio from body-worn cameras for generating reports, did not significantly save officers' time as hoped. Officers still needed to review and edit reports extensively, and sometimes critical visual details were missing. This sentiment is echoed by other policing agencies questioning the usability and accuracy of AI-generated reports, prompting discussions about transparency regarding AI usage within law enforcement.
"We were hoping that it would be providing significant time savings for our officers, but we did not find that to be the case."
"So if they saw something but didn't say it, of course, the body cam isn't going to know that."
A new study into police using AI to write police reports... found that AI-assisted report-writing offered no real time-savings advantage.
The technology relies on audio from body-worn cameras, which often misses visual components of the story that the officer then has to add themselves.
