Artificial intelligence (AI) is still negotiating its way around the learning curve. On occasion, an input might cause AI to swerve a little wildly. The other day, for example, an AI-generated police report claimed an officer from Herber City, Utah, was turned into a frog while answering a call.
Back
in December, the Heber City Police Department started using a pair of AI
programs, Draft One and Code Four, to automatically generate police reports
from body camera footage. The frog issue occurred when, on a call, in addition
to recording the words and actions of an officer, a camera also picked up a
nearby television, which happened to be playing the movie The Princess and
the Frog. AI, being ever-diligent in its transcribing work habits, tied
everything into a nice, neat package and then turned the officer into a frog in
the ensuing official report.
While
a great deal of labor is saved using AI, the officers now know a certain level
of oversight is required to keep their reports from drifting into fairy tales.
