"Two developers have used OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 image generation model to create a
forensic sketch program that can create “hyper-realistic” police sketches of a
suspect based on user inputs.
The program, called Forensic Sketch AI-rtist, was created by developers Artur
Fortunato and Filipe Reynaud as part of a hackathon in December 2022. The
developers wrote that the program's purpose is to cut down the time it usually
takes to draw a suspect of a crime, which is “around two to three hours,”
according to a presentation uploaded to the internet.
“We haven’t released the product yet, so we don’t have any active users at the
moment, Fortunato and Reynaud told
Motherboard in a joint email. “At this
stage, we are still trying to validate if this project would be viable to use
in a real world scenario or not. For this, we’re planning on reaching out to
police departments in order to have input data that we can test this on.”
AI ethicists and researchers told
Motherboard that the use of generative AI
in police forensics is incredibly dangerous, with the potential to worsen
existing racial and gender biases that appear in initial witness descriptions."
