AI to binge LAPD bodycam footage to weed out rude tone, aggressive language

FOX News

Fox News Washington-based correspondent Mark Meredith breaks down which jobs are most at risk during the AI revolution on'Special Report.' Researchers in California will leverage artificial intelligence to study bodycam footage recorded by Los Angeles police to analyze whether officers escalated interactions with the public through their language or tone. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) on Tuesday announced the research initiative during the Board of Police Commissioners meeting. Marla Ciuffetelli said at the meeting the study will be used to help train future officers on how to best interact with the public while also promoting accountability, according to the Los Angeles Times. "The Los Angeles Police Department is committed to leadership, quality through continuous improvement and public transparency and is forward-thinking in pursuit of training techniques and technologies that can assist us in achieving our goals," Ciuffetelli told Fox News Digital.


NASA reveals new images of its InSight lander preparing for work

Daily Mail - Science & tech

The robot will go through an initial assessment phase to check on its overall health and the health of its instruments before it can move on to the deployment phase. Then, once its finally time to deploy its suite of instruments, that process alone is expected to take two to three months. InSight will place its seismometer, and only once the team is happy with its location and initial operations will it return to the deck to get its wind and thermal shields, which will sit atop the seismometer for protection. The lander will then pick up the heat probe to bring to the surface, before beginning its historic dig. Eventually, once it's all settled in, Barrett says we'll be'sitting back listening for Mars quakes.'
