Image Recognition
Officials with the Thunder Bay Police Service say a public survey suggests the public supports having officers use artificial intelligence software when searching surveillance video, but an oversight policy would be needed to ensure the software is used properly. On Tuesday, a report was presented to the Thunder Bay Police Services Board outlining the responses to a recent public survey about the use of the software. However, 48 per cent strongly agreed, and 23 per cent somewhat agreed, that the city's police services board must develop a policy to ensure proper oversight. "We have spoken to other police services who have used BriefCam, and we're sharing our information with them as well." Dan Taddeo, acting police chief for the Thunder Bay Police Service, says the service is not looking to use facial recognition software.
