Utah’s AI Police Report Bill: A Necessary Step or Just a Disclaimer Decoy?
Utah’s S.B. 180 bill demands police disclose if AI wrote any part of their reports. As AI-generated police reports spread like gossip at a family reunion, this bill aims to bring transparency to the force’s newfound AI sidekicks. But will it be enough to curb potential AI blunders? Stay tuned!

Hot Take:
When AI starts writing police reports, who gets the Miranda rights: the suspect or the server? Utah’s S.B. 180 is trying to put the ‘I’ in ‘AI’… as in ‘I, the officer, checked this report.’ But remember, AI might stand for ‘Artificial Intelligence,’ but it can also spell out ‘Absolutely Inept’ when it comes to nuances and context. Proceed with caution, because if your police report sounds like it was written by a robot, it probably was!
Key Points:
- Utah’s S.B. 180 requires police to disclose AI-generated content in reports.
- Officers must certify the accuracy of AI-influenced reports.
- Axon’s Draft One uses body cam audio to draft reports, raising concerns.
- AI struggles with understanding language nuances and context.
- King County, Washington, has temporarily halted AI report use.
