Members of the organisation’s oversight body were told AI is currently being used within the PSNI to run background checks on applications for firearms licences, to dictate voice messages into text, and to send automated email responses to members of the public who have called contact centres.
The PSNI is exploring the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse mobile phone evidence as part of crime investigations, the Policing Board has heard.
Board vice-chairman Brendan Mullan, referencing the case of Noah, asked PSNI commanders for an update on how else the organisation is using AI.
“This is a human rights-based organisation, so wherever we use AI we need to be alive to the issues and concerns where it may not operate in the way that we want it to.
“I know there are some concerns with regards to commercial sensitivities and non-disclosure agreements from companies around the use of AI,” he told the board.
