See: the TN woman who was extradited to NC, having never been there, for a crime that the AI "face recognition" flagged as her, and the cops did zero actual investigation, they just took the AI at its word and put her in jail for six months.

As has been explained numerous times, this was a problem with the police and the courts, not AI. Get rid of bad cops first, then worry about AI.

I'd rather bad cops not be able to use AI to be worse cops, thank you. I think that's the easier task, because of qualified immunity. AI hallucination is an issue well known to happen widely.

Why not worry about the AI and work to try to get rid of bad cops?

There is no sense in limiting yourself to doing the next-to-impossible task first.

That's completely backwards. The whole point is, giving AI to bad cops only makes things worse.
