Chicago Man Wrongly Imprisoned Because Of Artificial Intelligence?

Michael Williams spent almost a year in prison before prosecutors asked a judge to dismiss his case due to insufficient evidence. The 65-year-old was jailed over the shooting of a man inside his car. Now, he is suing the city of Chicago for using an unreliable artificial intelligence system called ShotSpotter as critical evidence in charging him with first-degree murder. The human rights advocacy group out of Northwestern University claims the city's police relied solely on the technology and failed to pursue other leads in the investigation. The lawsuit, filed by the MacArthur Justice Center, is seeking damages from the city for mental anguish, loss of income, and legal bills for Williams, who still suffers from a tremor in his hand that developed while he was locked up.
