Automating the taking of witness statements in criminal cases using AI
Can the taking of witness statements in criminal cases be automated using artificial intelligence (AI)? The University of Groningen (UG), Capgemini Netherlands and Scotty AI signed a letter of intent today to jointly research the development of an “AI witness interview assistant” that could potentially be used for this purpose in the future.
Together, the three organizations are exploring whether AI can support the taking of witness statements without compromising important legal safeguards, the quality of the statements or the privacy and security of personal data. The intended collaboration will take place in a multidisciplinary "living lab". In this lab, UG researchers and technology experts from Capgemini and Scotty AI will explore all technical, legal, psychological and ethical possibilities and dilemmas.
One of the initiators of this project is UG researcher Laura Peters (Faculty of Law, Department of Criminal Law & Criminology).
