Taser company Axon releases new report-writing software from body cam footage, Draft One, for police powered by artificial intelligence, which could prove disastrous consequences in court proceedings.
“SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Axon has announced the release of Draft One, a new software product that drafts police report narratives in seconds based on auto-transcribed body-worn camera audio, according to a press release.
Reporting is a critical component of good police work, however, it has become a significant part of the job. Axon found that every week officers in the U.S. can spend up to 40% of their time — or 15 hours per week — on what is essentially data entry.
“Every single officer in the U.S. writes police reports, often every day and normally multiple times a day,” said Axon CEO and Founder Rick Smith. “As we’ve done with Draft One, harnessing the power of AI will prove to be one of the most impactful technological advancements of our time to help scale police work and revolutionize the way public safety operates.””
