It's not impossible to understand or scrutinize. They give it specific things to look for. It does what it's told. You can make the argument that ANY tool used by the police will be misused in their favor. AI isn't special for that by any means. It's not like we bother to hold anyone accountable for anything else now anyway. Maybe the AI will be less biased

It's definitely not doing the same work as a human if humans are spared sifting through hours upon hours of less useful footage. I'm sure they're testing it etc. Nobody goes all in on this stuff. Really, you guys can be so very dramatic lol
