Rising use of generative AI by police is a threat to Americans civil liberties, ACLU warns
As generative AI’s integration into policing intensifies, the American Civil Liberties Union raises concerns over potential threats to Americans’ civil liberties.
These sophisticated AI systems, like ChatGPT and DALL-E, can generate text, images, and even code, which could automate processes within law enforcement. However, the ACLU warns of potential biases and inaccuracies inherent in these systems, which could lead to wrongful arrests, unfair sentencing, and further erosion of trust between communities and the police.
