AI and Cold Case Investigations

How can AI be used to solve older unsolved cold cases? Multiple sources discuss challenges and best practices in cold case investigations, including the growing number of unsolved cases and the difficulties in managing old, often physical records. One key topic is the potential, limitations, and ethical concerns surrounding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in solving cold cases, ranging from enhancing images and finding patterns to the risk of generating false leads or perpetuating biases. Additionally, the importance of establishing dedicated cold case units, securing funding, collaborating with diverse experts and agencies, and adopting a victim-centered approach in these investigations is highlighted.
