"Britain's police forces are getting a high-tech upgrade, as artificial intelligence ( AI) tools are rolled out to tackle crime. As part of major police reforms, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced that over £140 million will be invested in new technology. Police will be given access to facial recognition vans, tools for rapid CCTV analysis, and a suite of digital forensics tools."
"Thames Valley Police and Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary recently became the first police forces in the UK to trial a new AI Virtual Assistant, known as Bobbi. Bobbi is designed to answer frequently asked, non-emergency questions that come into the police. Just like ChatGPT, Bobbi can speak to you as if it were a human and answer any questions you might have. The big difference is that Bobbi uses 'closed source information', meaning it only has information provided to it by the police."
Over £140 million will be invested in new policing technology as part of major reforms. Police forces will gain access to live facial recognition vans, rapid CCTV analysis tools, and a suite of digital forensics capabilities. 999 control rooms will use AI-assisted operator services to filter non-policing calls. AI chatbots will handle non-urgent queries from victims of crime. Trials of an AI virtual assistant called Bobbi are underway, using closed-source police information and routing unanswered or human-requested queries to a Digital Desk operator. Privacy groups warn of democratic and civil-liberty risks.
