#Police Departments Are Turning to #AI to Sift Through Millions of Hours of Unreviewed Body-Cam Footage
==
Body camera #video equivalent to 25 million copies of #Barbie is collected but rarely reviewed.
Some cities are looking to new #technology to examine this stockpile of footage to identify problematic officers and patterns of behavior.
@ProPublica Why is the length of a barbie movie a more relevant unit of time than "hours" in this context?
@LouisIngenthron @ProPublica
Good point. Thinking it through I don't know if that figure is meant to represent elapsed time or storage space (that's what I asumed when I first read it).
@FeralRobots @ProPublica That's totally plausible! We'll never know what they meant because they chose a stupid unit of measurement.
@FeralRobots @ProPublica Yeah, at this point, I'm pretty sure they were just hashtag farming, which is disingenuous and unprofessional.
@LouisIngenthron @FeralRobots @ProPublica SEO is king.
@LouisIngenthron @ProPublica
They did mean storage space.
To me "5,000 years" hits harder & is more relevant, both in human terms & technically (storage space is always going to vary based on many factors).
