Queensland police trial AI to predict domestic violence risk
The Queensland Police Service is trialling an AI risk-assessment tool to identify high-risk domestic violence offenders from police records. Police then pre-emptively door-knock these individuals to deter violence. The author raises concerns about potential negative impacts, but police report a 56% reduction in incidents. The AI was developed in-house to increase transparency.
