Anchorage Police Pull the Plug on AI Report Writing: Not the Time-Saver Promised!
The Anchorage Police Department has turned down Axon’s AI system, Draft One, because it’s less “force multiplying” and more “time consuming.” While Axon claims it halves report-writing time, APD found officers spent just as long editing as writing. AI police reports, it seems, are still more fiction than fact.
Hot Take:
Looks like the AI cops aren’t ready to patrol the beat just yet. When it comes to writing police reports, Draft One ended up being more of a draft than a final masterpiece. Maybe Axon should consider renaming their product to “Draft Zero Point Five” because it seems like the police still have a lot of editing to do!
Key Points:
- Anchorage Police Department (APD) tested Axon’s Draft One AI for police reports.
- APD found no time savings, contrary to Axon’s claims.
- Officers needed to review and edit reports extensively.
- AI missed visual elements from body cam footage.
- Policy and legal concerns arise over AI-written reports.
