Tokyo police to use AI to strengthen anti-stalking measures

Tokyo police plan to introduce a system that uses generative artificial intelligence to automatically transcribe consultation audio and generate summaries so they can more swiftly respond to stalking cases that may escalate into serious crimes. The Metropolitan Police Department plans to create a system to document consultations using generative artificial intelligence to swiftly respond to stalking cases that may escalate into serious crimes, sources said Wednesday. The MPD also plans to deploy autonomous drones to quickly assess the extent of damage in the event of a disaster. The police department included related expenses in its budget request for the next fiscal year. As the police deal with a large number of consultations on a daily basis, it takes time to sort through them and create corresponding documents.
