Law enforcement agencies are increasingly using artificial intelligence to draft police reports from body camera transcripts. New state regulations now mandate transparency about AI involvement in these legally sensitive documents that can determine individuals’ liberty in court proceedings.

The technology utilizes large language models and predictive text capabilities to automate what has traditionally been time-consuming paperwork for police officers. However, the legal implications of AI-generated documents that may form the basis of criminal prosecutions have prompted states to implement new transparency requirements.
