The Denver Post: Unprofessionalism at the Aurora Police Department decreased substantially when the agency used artificial intelligence software to review every minute of officers’ body-worn camera footage last year, outside researchers found.
Incidents of officers using profanity, insults, threats and inappropriate language dropped by 57% among 220 Aurora police officers during a six-month span from July to December, according to an executive summary from researchers at the University of South Carolina and Clemson University that was obtained by The Denver Post on Thursday.
The first-ever empirical results showing the AI software’s impact come months after Aurora stopped using the system. The city opted not to renew its deal with AI company Truleo in March, when its one-year, $250,000 contract ended for the automated body-worn footage review service.
