Peter joins the discussion on whether AI technologies should be used by police services in Barrie

This week Peter joined the second session of Barrie’s Community Conversation Series discussing Facial Matching technology.

Peter motivated conversation around where and when it may be appropriate to use AI technology within the police services. Asking:

Should it be used in support of criminal investigations? What about if it helps find missing persons?

What is the real impact of bias in these technologies? Can the benefit outweigh the risk, and what human oversight and governance would be needed? Are there sensible limits we can decide on, or should it simply be a non-starter? What do the public think, and who gets to decide?
