At this point I’m basically shocked when people tell me they don’t use AI to assist them in some part of their job, regardless of career.

That is true. Police will have to use AI (criminals will!) but we need protect socieity from any bias, miscarriage of justice, police harrassment etc. There needs to be strict governance over the tool use.

A cop in the UK was recently suspended (I think suspended) for allegedly using AI unofficially to fabricate evidence.
