Need to be certain the false negative rate is near zero though, or important events could be missed, and with AI its nearly impossible to say that with certainty.
Important events are already being missed.
Yep we have countless stories from all over the place of people trying to get help with crimes that got no help from the police. Over and over I've heard people describe how they were robbed and the police don't put any effort towards catching the perpetrators or returning the property. And that's far from the worst of it.
I mean, that's because there's usually very little evidence to go on after a robbery, unless you have security cameras.
Most PDs don't even have the resources to process evidence from things like murders and rapes, so robbery isn't super high on their priority list.
so we should just drop the good in pursuit of perfect?
ai is just an additional tool to be applied based on its efficacy. the better the tooling gets, the more we can trust its results. but no one...
no one
is expecting ai to be perfect, and to be trusted 100%.
