UK Police AI Center Vows to Tackle Biases in Crime-Fighting Tech
The head of the UK's new £115m police AI center admits their crime-fighting AI will have biases, but pledges to limit unfairness in these powerful tools.
UK authorities are embracing artificial intelligence to boost crime-fighting, but the head of a new £115 million police AI center acknowledges the technology will contain inherent biases. However, he vows to combat these risks and improve the fairness of these powerful tools.
Alex Murray, the National Crime Agency's lead on artificial intelligence, says he hopes the new center can limit the unfairness often found in AI-powered crime-fighting tools. Labour has called for a dramatic expansion of police use of AI within England and Wales, as law enforcement agencies believe it can help them keep up with new criminal threats.
