Information & Ethics committee  We are. We're using facial recognition to compare probe photos that would have been uncovered in investigation against our Intellibook, which is our mug shot database. There is a known set of issues around faces in different training sets. We selected the facial recognition tech

Information & Ethics committee  It would be through the investigative processes.

Information & Ethics committee  Yes, definitely.

Information & Ethics committee  There's never no human intervention. There will always be a human intervention.

Information & Ethics committee  I am aware, yes.

Information & Ethics committee  I don't believe so. This is how we've approached this with our AI/ML policies. There's a balance of goods around this. There's a social good around public security and safety against privacy and human rights challenges with the technology. The question is, when do we deploy thi

Information & Ethics committee  I'm just going to respond to the first question. We can supply the Forensic Identification Services policy on facial recognition and what qualifies for that. There's a fairly stringent set of criteria, and we can supply those separately. In terms of rights, we're operating unde

We've had consultations on the board policy that looks at AIML, and we're in the process of drafting the procedure that will sit underneath that.

Information & Ethics committee  Sure. There is extreme risk, which is something that we would not do. It would be banned. There's high risk, and medium, low and very low. The reason we needed more strata was to account for AIML applications we're getting that are baked into existing and sort of very simple and

Information & Ethics committee  Risk might be a risk for human rights. It might be risk to the procedural integrity of the investigation. It might be that the information would be incorrect or that results would be unpredictable.

Information & Ethics committee  Do you mean in terms of determining the risk level or in terms of actually using a system that had a higher risk level?
