I really wish there was.

I did forensics for a couple years, working with the police force to access and/or recover incriminating evidence.

I really, really wish that a machine could replace a person in that circumstance. And to a certain extent, it is possible.

One of the really unfortunate parts of the process, is to know a video is incriminating, someone at some point has to see that video.

It was part of my job to analyse and catalogue the evidence I recovered, such as saying who was in a video, and what happened to who inside it.

ML will hopefully take over this at some point, but it is difficult for a computer, at this stage, to tell if say, penetration, is involved.

It's moving in that direction, and that is absolutely fantastic.

No person should be required to witness this crap. Hopefully, we can offload it to something that can, one day, be better than us at it.

I'm sorry anyone has to see stuff like that, but there is no way in hell machines can be allowed to start "confirming" such things without several people having to review it.
