Police officer allegedly used AI to 'create evidence'

An incident in Derbyshire marks the first known case in UK criminal justice of using AI to manufacture evidence. Derbyshire Police are investigating a Derbyshire police officer for allegedly using AI to create evidential material in multiple cases. The officer has been removed from frontline duties as the investigation proceeds. The Crown Prosecution Service said it is engaging with defence lawyers and the courts about potentially affected cases, but Derbyshire Police has not disclosed how many cases may be impacted, nor whether convictions resulted. The officer faces allegations of perverting the course of justice, a charge with a maximum life sentence. The investigation is described as in its early stages.
