Wearable AI in policing: ITIF report covers smart glasses, body-cam FR and behavioural prediction

A Biometric Update analysis of an ITIF report covers the next generation of body-camera AI, including live facial recognition alerts, behavioural prediction for escalating conflict and concealed weapons, and AI-generated speech-to-text for report drafting. Edmonton Police Service is cited as the first force worldwide to pilot body cameras with live FR alerting for outstanding warrants. The report argues risks are manageable but draws criticism for downplaying civil liberties concerns.
