Smarter and more connected infrastructure in countries is sending real-time data to government authorities, which, when combined with AI, can aid in the detection of crimes as they happen.
Fremont, CA: Artificial intelligence is the study of how computers can think, act, and replicate human behavior. Machine learning is generally considered a component of artificial intelligence. It is the study of learning and improving computer algorithms through time. It enables the software to predict events without the need for training properly. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are extremely important in forensics. With these two technologies, investigators may automate their operations, allowing them to quickly identify facts and insights while saving time.
AI for crime detection
Helps detect gunfire
Police can arrive at a shooting site without being called or without any police present to witness the shooting. What's the best approach to go about it? The answer is yes, with the help of AI technology. Sensors can be installed in municipal infrastructure, for example. The sensors will be connected to a cloud-based program that will be able to identify and localize gunshots accurately. Each sensor records the timing and sound of gunshots. This data from multiple sensors can help in the investigation of the incident. Sensors can also help determine where the shooter is. The whole information is then relayed to police headquarters, including the precise location of the gunshot. In such cases, using AI technology to detect gunshots and alert police will help them respond more quickly to a shooting.
Detects bombs
Bombs are one of the most lethal weapons used by terrorists and criminals. Hundreds of people could be killed by a single bomb. Aluminum powder, nitroglycerin, passive infrared sensors, tetranitrate, and other bomb-making components may be detectable by robots. AI-enabled bots that can recognize bomb components could detect bombs rapidly without putting security workers in danger.
Helps in crime site investigation
A thorough investigation is required in complex murder cases. But what if a machine could aid in the discovery of vital clues from a crime scene? When police officers arrive at a crime scene, they snap photographs of the surrounding area. The photographs are being used to hunt for signs and evidence that could lead to a new link to the murder. AI-enabled tools can help detect any serious indications in pictures captured at the crime site.
