AI app causes distress across US with false crime alerts

Advertisements

A company behind an AI-powered app called CrimeRadar has apologised for the distress caused by false crime alerts issued to local US communities after a BBC Verify investigation.

CrimeRadar uses artificial intelligence to monitor openly available police radio communications, automatically generating a transcript and then producing crime alerts for users across the US.

BBC Verify has found multiple instances from Florida to Oregon of CrimeRadar sending misleading and inaccurate alerts about serious crime to local residents – as Thomas Copeland explains.
