Axon's Draft One: AI Police Report Generator Raises Transparency Concerns

Axon's Draft One, an AI tool generating police reports from bodycam audio, is designed to hinder audits and public accountability, according to an EFF investigation. The system obscures the distinction between AI-generated and officer-edited content, deleting the initial AI draft upon closure. This lack of transparency makes it difficult to assess the AI's impact on report accuracy and fairness, raising serious concerns about justice outcomes. Legislative efforts are underway to increase transparency and accountability for AI-generated police reports.
