This whitepaper examines one of the most consequential questions facing criminal justice today: AI in Policing and how AI can support investigative work without amplifying the very biases that lead to wrongful convictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written by Dr Ivar Fahsing<\/a>, Chief Scientific Advisor at Davidhorn, it draws on more than fifty years of cognitive psychology \u2014 from Tversky and Kahneman to the latest research on AI and human decision-making \u2014 to explain why the human mind struggles under the conditions that define serious investigations, and what properly governed AI must do to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The information explosion has not broadened investigative minds; it has narrowed them. Faced with millions of digital artefacts, rising caseloads, and relentless time pressure, investigators fall back on mental shortcuts precisely when clear thinking matters most. AI could make this worse \u2014 or it could become the cognitive infrastructure that keeps alternatives in play, surfaces meaning, and protects the presumption of innocence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This whitepaper is grounded in decades of peer-reviewed research on investigative decision-making, alongside recent studies from Boston Consulting Group<\/a> on AI-related cognitive fatigue and from Harvard Kennedy School’s Allen Lab<\/a> for Democracy Renovation on the moral reasoning of leading AI models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From confirmation bias and “AI brain fry” to the difference between AI as a bureaucratic amplifier and AI as genuine cognitive offload, this whitepaper explores what it takes to design and deploy AI in Policing that serves the rule of law rather than eroding it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
