Policing by camera. The development and use of live facial recognition within the police service

McCready, Claudia

Abstract

AI is being called 'one of the most transformative technologies of the last decade' (Brown, 2019). In fact, back in October 2023, the policing minister Chris Philip MP wrote an open letter to the 43 Chief Officers and Police Crime Commissioners of England and Wales, his message was simple – continue to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) within policing.

It is clear that technology has infiltrated many aspects of policing, can we expect the advancements in Artificial Intelligence to behave any differently?

This week’s UWE Bristol Policing Blog sees Claudia McCready explore the debate surrounding the police’s use of Live Facial Recognition software.
