When I see a headline like, "Cops Forced to Explain Why AI Generated Police Report Claimed Officer Transformed Into Frog," I knew that I had to click through.
Law enforcement has quickly embraced AI for everything from drafting police reports to facial recognition.
The results have been predictably dismal. In one particularly glaring — and unintentionally comedic — instance, the police department in Heber City, Utah, was forced to explain why a police report software declared that an officer had somehow shapeshifted into a frog.
As Salt Lake City-based Fox 13 reports, the flawed tool seems to have picked up on some unrelated background chatter to devise its fantastical fairy tale ending.
“The body cam software and the AI report writing software picked up on the movie that was playing in the background, which happened to be ‘The Princess and the Frog,'” police sergeant Rick Keel told the broadcaster, referring to Disney’s 2009 musical comedy. “That’s when we learned the importance of correcting these AI-generated reports.”
Gee, I wonder what happened.
OK, I don't. The headline was a spoiler.
