Artificial intelligence will be used to analyze the language used by LAPD officers during traffic stops in order to determine if police language unnecessarily escalates encounters and to help train officers on better interactions with the public.
Cal Fire, in partnership with UC San Diego’s ALERTCalifornia system, has implemented an artificial intelligence (AI) pilot project that uses high-definition cameras to detect wildfires and alert emergency responders, successfully identifying 77 fires before any 911 calls were made; the system will soon be rolled out to all 21 Cal Fire centers.
Researchers in California are using artificial intelligence to analyze bodycam footage from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) in order to determine if officers escalated interactions through their language or tone, with the goal of improving officer training and promoting accountability. The study will review about 1,000 traffic stops over the next three years and train an AI system to identify inappropriate interactions based on department policies and public feedback.
AC Transit plans to use artificial intelligence cameras mounted on buses to catch drivers who illegally park in bus-only lanes, with the primary goal of ensuring the safety of riders, particularly elderly and ADA riders, during boarding and exiting processes. The cameras, developed by Hayden AI, automatically detect violations and generate evidence packages sent to the police, potentially improving the timeliness of bus operations. The implementation of these AI cameras is made possible by new state laws that allow transit agencies to use cameras and AI technology for traffic law enforcement.
Artificial intelligence (AI) tools can put human rights at risk, as highlighted by researchers from Amnesty International on the Me, Myself, and AI podcast, who discuss scenarios in which AI is used to track activists and make automated decisions that can lead to discrimination and inequality, emphasizing the need for human intervention and changes in public policy to address these issues.
The Israeli Defense Ministry has introduced a new surveillance aircraft equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) systems, which will provide the Israel Defense Forces with enhanced intelligence capabilities through efficient and automated data processing in real-time.
Computers using artificial intelligence are being used to detect wildfires in California, providing early warnings and assisting firefighters in combating the blazes.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released new guidelines for the use of artificial intelligence (AI), including a policy that prohibits the collection and dissemination of data used in AI activities and a requirement for thorough testing of facial recognition technologies to ensure there is no unintended bias.
Osceola County in Florida will use artificial intelligence (AI) bots to monitor traffic at nine intersections and collect data to improve safety and alleviate congestion, making it the first county in Central Florida to utilize this technology. The AI bots will detect safety issues such as wrong-way vehicles, near misses, and crashes, while a cloud-based traffic monitoring system will evaluate wait times at 41 intersections using data from connected cars. The county's efforts come in response to a fatal crash that raised concerns about road safety in the area.
Lincolnshire is considering the introduction of traffic cameras equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce fatal crashes, following a successful trial in Devon and Cornwall.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms have been used to analyze police incident reports related to sexual assault in order to measure officer bias and predict the outcomes of cases, with the findings suggesting that more subjective reports resulted in higher prosecution rates. This research demonstrates the potential for AI to assist in improving report-writing and addressing bias in the criminal justice system.

Educators in the Sacramento City Unified District are monitoring students' use of artificial intelligence (AI) on assignments and have implemented penalties for academic misconduct, while also finding ways to incorporate AI into their own teaching practices.
The Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation discussed the federal government's use of artificial intelligence (AI) and emphasized the need for responsible governance, oversight, and accountability to mitigate risks and protect civil liberties and privacy rights.
Adversaries and criminal groups are exploiting artificial intelligence (AI) technology to carry out malicious activities, according to FBI Director Christopher Wray, who warned that while AI can automate tasks for law-abiding citizens, it also enables the creation of deepfakes and malicious code, posing a threat to US citizens. The FBI is working to identify and track those misusing AI, but is cautious about using it themselves. Other US security agencies, however, are already utilizing AI to combat various threats, while concerns about China's use of AI for misinformation and propaganda are growing.
