Justice So that’s the lens I’d like to look through here. How can we use AI to empower individuals or communities that have tradition- ally been marginalized and targeted by state power—including state power enabled by AI—and develop ways to proactively use AI to deliver justice in new ways? Body-worn cameras Let’s start with cameras—in particular, the recent call for all police officers to use body-worn cameras (BWCs). Statis- tics from 2018 suggest that nearly half of U.S. law enforce- ment agencies are already using body-worn cameras in some way, with that number closer to 80 percent for large police departments. As the AClu says, body-worn cameras “serve as a much- needed police oversight tool at a time of a growing recognition that the United States has a real problem with police violence . . . [but] without good policies, they risk becoming just another police surveillance device—and one with very real potential to invade privacy.” Again, here we see real benefits to society balanced with equally real risks. How can we lean into the former while mitigating the effects of the latter? Reid: How should we be thinking about the poten- tial benefits and risks of body-worn cameras used in policing? GPT-4: Potential benefits of body-worn cameras in policing include improved transparency, accountability, and trust between officers and the public, as well as a deterrent for potentially aggressive behavior. Body-worn cameras also provide a valuable source of evidence for criminal investigations. 69
