A footnote in a 223-page ruling by US District Judge Sara Ellis<\/strong>, investigating migrant raids in Chicago, revealed that an officer received help from ChatGPT<\/strong> to create the narrative for a use of force report<\/strong>. The judge stated that this situation completely undermined the credibility of the reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, a judge in the US issued a 223-page opinion severely criticizing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)<\/strong> regarding the manner in which raids targeting undocumented immigrants in Chicago were implemented. And two sentences contained in a footnote of this opinion revealed that a member of law enforcement used ChatGPT<\/a><\/em><\/strong> to write a report prepared to document the use of force<\/strong> against an individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the decision written by US District Judge Sara Ellis<\/strong>, the conduct of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)<\/strong> officials and other agencies during the operation named “Operation Midway Blitz<\/strong>” was criticized. In this operation, more than 3,300 people were arrested and over 600 were detained by ICE<\/strong>, including repeated incidents of violence with protesters and citizens. Such incidents were required to be documented by agencies in use of force reports<\/strong>. However, Judge Ellis noticed frequent inconsistencies between footage from officers’ body cameras<\/strong> and the information in written records, declaring the reports unreliable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Judge Ellis said that at least one report was not even written by an officer. As noted in her footnote, body camera footage<\/strong> showed an officer “asking ChatGPT<\/strong> to generate a narrative for a report based on a short sentence regarding an encounter and a few images.” Although the officer provided extremely limited information to the artificial intelligence<\/strong>, he submitted the output from ChatGPT<\/strong> as the report; this raised the possibility that the AI<\/strong> filled in the remaining gaps with assumptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to what Judge Ellis wrote in the footnote, “Agents’ use of ChatGPT<\/strong> to generate use of force reports<\/strong> further undermines the credibility of the reports and may explain the inaccuracies in these reports in light of body camera footage<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worst Case Scenario of AI Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

According to reports by the Associated Press<\/strong>, it is unknown whether the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)<\/strong> has a clear policy regarding the use of generative AI tools<\/strong> to generate reports. Given that generative AI<\/strong> will fill gaps with completely fabricated information (hallucinations) when it cannot find information in its training data, it is certain that this is not the best practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DHS<\/strong> has a dedicated page regarding AI use<\/strong> within the agency and has even deployed its own chatbot<\/strong> to help officers complete their “daily activities” after testing with commercially available chatbots<\/a><\/em><\/strong> including ChatGPT<\/strong>. However, the footnote does not indicate that the officer used the agency’s internal tool. On the contrary, it appears the person filling out the report went directly to ChatGPT<\/strong> and uploaded the information. It should come as no surprise that an expert described this situation to the Associated Press<\/strong> as the “worst case scenario<\/strong>” of AI use<\/strong> by law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
