Send us a text

Technological advancements have always found their way into policing, and Artificial Intelligence is no exception.

Dr. Ian Adams joins the podcast today to discuss some of the seminal research exploring AI in policing. Ian is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of South Carolina. Ian is also a 2023 National Institute of Justice LEADS (Law Enforcement Advancing Data and Science) Academic, and he is the Managing Editor for Police Practice & Research: An International Journal. In a prior life Ian was a police officer who worked in Utah.

Beyond simple questions of "does AI work to make policing more efficient?," Ian explains that AI can accidentally do a better job in some parts of policing, but this may open the door to legal questions about the development of suspicion.
