Utah Bill Aims to Make Officers Disclose AI-Written Police Reports
Briefly

The proposed bill S.B. 180 in Utah aims to regulate the use of generative AI in police reports by requiring disclosure and accuracy certification from officers. This legislation arises amid concerns over rapid AI integration in law enforcement, notably products from Axon that use AI for report generation. Critics emphasize the potential risks of processing language nuances and the risk of obscuring human decision-making in police narratives. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) advocates for the bill as a starting point for broader regulations, highlighting the need for careful oversight of AI's role in policing.
The introduction of S.B. 180 mandates transparency for police reports generated with generative AI, requiring officers to disclose AI involvement and certify accuracy.
Generative AI's use in police reports raises concerns about accuracy, human agency, and the potential for misinterpretation during sensitive situations like traffic stops.
