Police in Paterson, NJ Deploy Controversial AI to Analyze Bodycam Footage

Paterson police will start using AI to analyze bodycam footage, becoming the first department in NJ to do so.

The $102,000 system from Truleo will flag uses of force, pursuits, frisks, and unprofessional language.

Police unions welcome the technology, saying it will showcase officers' professionalism.

Some experts are skeptical about AI accuracy and transparency with the footage analysis.

Truleo says its system is used in dozens of departments, but would not provide a list when asked.
