  • Police lineups in most of the US and UK haven't changed in 100 years.  According to researchers in the UK, police lineups are ineffective, many times inaccurate and antiquated.  But AI offers a revolutionary way to upgrade lineups and strengthen the fight against criminals.  Some key facts: 
  • Researchers at the University of Birmingham have deployed AI to create an interactive police lineup for criminal investigations that is far more effective than current suspect lineups
  • New AI system uses 3D models to show the victim various perspectives of the perpetrator from different angles, including the 1st the victim saw
  • The new system is 42% more accurate than current systems
  • The purpose of the new AI system is to increase the odds of the guilty being spotted
  • Also the researchers want to cut the many mistaken innocent people being charged with crimes they didn't commit
  • Currently, a number of police departments in the US and the UK are considering using this new AI technology
  • Also the UK researchers are looking to add on features like images with dynamic facial muscles, emotional expressions and more.
