Innovative artificial intelligence system Soze, being tested by British police, promises to revolutionize the investigation of unsolved crimes , significantly speeding up data analysis. However, its implementation carries risks of inaccuracy and bias, which has raised concerns among experts.
AI in the Police
Revolution in Crime Solving
In southwest England, Avon and Somerset Police are experimenting with an innovative system based on artificial intelligence (AI). This technology could be a breakthrough in solving long-standing unsolved cases, reducing investigators' years of work to just a few hours. Information about this is provided by Sky News.
Capabilities of the Soze system
The Soze system developed in Australia is capable of processing huge amounts of data, including email correspondence, posts on social networks , video materials, financial documentation and other sources of information. However, the accuracy of this platform is still in question, which raises concerns given the known tendency of AI models to make errors and generate unreliable information.
Impressive test results
According to Sky News, artificial intelligence was able to analyze evidence from 27 “complex” cases in approximately 30 hours. This is equivalent to 81 years of human work. Such outstanding performance has attracted the attention of law enforcement agencies, which often face staff shortages and limited budgets.
Expert Opinion
Gavin Stevens, Chairman of the UK National Police Chiefs Council, spoke about the potential of the system: “Imagine the case, seemingly intractable due to the sheer volume of material. By loading it into a system like this, I think it can be an extremely useful tool."
Risks and Concerns
Despite the enthusiasm for the adoption of AI tools, experts emphasize the need to thoroughly test their accuracy. The use of AI in law enforcement involves risks of error and may lead to false conclusions. For example, one of the models that predicted the likelihood of recidivism turned out to be inaccurate and biased against black people.
Recently, the US Commission on Civil Rights also expressed concern about the use of AI in policing due to possible errors and biases.

Wow, this is a breakthrough! 🚀 AI can save detectives years of work. Imagine how many unsolved cases could be solved!
Hans
Yes, Sophia, that sounds impressive. But I'm worried about accuracy. What if the system goes wrong and an innocent person gets hurt? 🤔
Pierre
Hans, I agree, there are risks. But don't people make mistakes? Maybe AI will be even more accurate than humans in analyzing evidence. The main thing is to use it correctly.
Isabella
I wonder how this will affect police work. Maybe now detectives will spend more time on the streets, and not behind papers? 👮♀️🕵️♂️
Viktor
Ha, another useless trend. Machines will never replace real detectives. This is all just a waste of taxpayers' money. Bring back the good old investigative methods!
Sophia
Viktor, but technology does not stand still. Maybe it's worth giving it a chance? AI can be a great assistant for detectives, not a replacement.
Maria
And I'm concerned about the issue of privacy. 🔒 How will AI process personal data? I hope there are strict rules to protect information.
Hans
Maria, great question! You definitely need to keep an eye on this. Pierre, you're right, the balance between efficiency and ethics is key. It will be interesting to see how similar systems will develop in the future. 🤖👀
