- The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) investigated AI-generated police reports, claiming they are nearly impossible to audit and could facilitate police dishonesty under oath.
- Axon's Draft One, a tool using a ChatGPT variant, generates police reports from body camera audio, requiring officers to edit for accuracy, bias, and context.
- EFF found the technology lacks transparency and accountability, with no requirement to disclose AI use, no saved drafts, and no record of AI-generated sections.
- Departments do not retain different versions of drafts, making it difficult to assess the technology's reliability or compare report versions.
- EFF raised concerns about officers possibly rubber-stamping AI-generated reports without proper review, citing a bug that allowed officers to bypass required checks.
