Police body cams with automated "AI" report writing integrations. And that "AI" is trained on what, again?

That's right: Parsed and tagged datasets of police reports… which are themselves written after the fact and based on cops' memories of the events. Things which notoriously distort and amplify certain elements, especially concerning race, and often in a reciprocal relationship to whether a crime is charge, for whom, and of what level of severity.

Everything is going to go wrong with this because it starts off from a place of utter wrongness.

@Wolven Holy shit.

I'm a huge proponent of AI and think it has a lot of promising applications and I really enjoy developing with it, but that's *fucking terrifying*.
