3 ways artificial intelligence can work for your agency

Most of the computer applications in law enforcement exploit the ability of the computer to handle large sets of data and to bring the relevant items to the user's attention when needed. A relatively untapped capability lies with artificial intelligence, using the computer's capacity for analysis. Artificial intelligence is the common term, but a more accurate way of describing this capability is "machine learning." This involves first teaching the computer to recognize the object(s) you're interested in, then to get the machine to find that object amid many others. Humans learn to do this without thinking about the process, but getting the computer to do the same thing takes some understanding of how we learn and what it is we are recognizing.
