Continuing story: Utah and artificial intelligence

Two Utah software developers are building artificial intelligence tools to help police review digital evidence while reducing exposure to traumatic material, KSL.com reported. Chase Cutler and Mike Hawker, who are raising families in Lehi and Herriman, founded ShieldView. [1]

The platform began with a focus on investigators' mental health and expanded into evidence review, police reporting and correctional operations. Hawker said investigators remain responsible for legal judgments and decisions. [1]

ShieldView has offered pilot programs to agencies interested in testing the software, according to KSL. Its claims about faster investigations, security and reduced workloads come from the company rather than an independent evaluation presented in the report. [1]
