- An AI-generated police report in Heber City, Utah, mistakenly claimed an officer shape-shifted into a frog due to background noise from the movie 'The Princess and the Frog.'
- The Heber City Police Department is testing two AI software tools, Draft One and Code Four, to automate report writing from body camera footage.
- Code Four, developed by two 19-year-old MIT dropouts, generates reports in English and Spanish, tracks tone and sentiment, and significantly reduces report-writing time for officers.
- During a mock traffic stop demonstration, Code Four successfully generated a report with timestamps, showcasing its efficiency and ease of use.
- The software saves officers about 6-8 hours weekly and costs $30 per officer per month. The department plans to continue using AI technology post-trial.
