Breaking news: Derbyshire Police has launched a criminal investigation and removed an officer from frontline duties over allegations of use of AI to "create evidential material in a number of cases": as.ft.com/r/46862d95-f...

It's the first known case of its kind in British criminal justice.

The CPS tell me they're working with defence lawyers and the courts on affected cases.

The purpose of form filling and evidence gathering is to ensure all your ducks are in a row. If you are ok with AI doing that work for you then you don't care about the ducks, and Mahmood should just get rid of the forms

You use AI and discover at the trial that one of your ducks is a turkey…

What sort of thing is under the 'other material' heading?

So, for instance, often a police interview is only provided as a summary rather than full transcript/video unless the defence demands this.
