Tell Governor Newsom: Rein in AI Police Reports
Californians should urge Gov. Gavin Newsom to sign S.B. 524: a common-sense bill that takes important first-step reforms to regulate police reports written by generative AI. This is crucial, as watchdogs struggle to figure out where and how AI is being used in a police context.
S.B. 524 does several important things: mandates that police reports written by AI include disclaimers on every page or within the body of the text that make it clear that this report was written in part or in total by a computer, requires reports written by AI must retain their first draft, and requires officers to sign and verify that they read the report and its facts are correct. It also bans AI vendors from selling or sharing the information a police agency provided to the AI.
We won!
Victory! Thanks to your support, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed S.B. 524 into law in October.
