Derbyshire Police has referred a senior detective to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) for potential gross misconduct related to the use of artificial intelligence. This referral follows an internal review that raised concerns about the officer's adherence to established guidelines regarding AI usage.
The IOPC is now conducting an independent investigation into the matter. This follows a separate criminal inquiry into another officer accused of improperly using AI to generate evidential material in various cases, highlighting ongoing scrutiny of AI practices within police forces.
