Artificial Intelligence, drones and DNA analysis are all playing a critical role in the ongoing manhunt for the 'brazen' assassin who shot Thompson, 50, in broad daylight Wednesday. Police are utilizing these advanced technologies to collect evidence and narrow down the suspect lists effectively.
AI-powered facial recognition software is being used to analyze CCTV and other images of the killer from the days around the shooting and cross-reference them with NYPD databases of known individuals. This process includes lawfully possessed arrest photos, helping to connect the dots in the investigation.
While the NYPD cannot make an arrest based on facial recognition evidence alone, it is a valuable tool for narrowing down suspects. When used effectively, this technology can yield significant leads in solving complex cases.
The technology has its limitations. 'This man was wearing a mask, which could hinder facial recognition,' explained a police department source, underscoring the challenges presented by sophisticated concealment methods employed by suspects.
