California Bill Would Require Police to Disclose Use of AI in Writing Reports


A proposed California law would require police to disclose when generative AI is used to write police reports. It comes in the wake of KQED’s reporting on how police departments are adopting these tools.

“There is potential for a race to the bottom, where sensitive body-worn camera data could be repurposed to train other technologies, including facial recognition systems or other surveillance tools,” the report said. “The bill raises serious concerns about unintended consequences that would undermine officer integrity, impose significant administrative burdens, and introduce unnecessary legal vulnerabilities,” the statement said. (Martin do Nascimento/KQED) While the tools promise to save officers time so they can spend more of it on the street, PORAC said the disclosure mandates would undermine those potential benefits and increase administrative work.
