UP Police to use AI-powered tools in criminal investigations

Uttar Pradesh Police is all set to utilise Artificial Intelligence to investigate criminal activities as it is being reported that the state is in talks with Staqu Technologies, an AI implementation enabler based in India which is going to unveil its latest innovation called ‘Crime GPT’.

The announcement of this one-of-a-kind move which will be launched together by the UP state and the Special Task Force was made on 15^th March. The Crime GPT boasts of helping with crime investigations by providing rapid insights into data such as CCTV footage, images, and audio related to criminal activities.

‘Crime GPT’ is known for its accurate face recognition and audio analysis in tracking and monitoring criminals. The Crime GPT can now enable law enforcement agencies to gain access to an enhanced suite of features, including facial recognition, speaker identification, voice analysis and criminal gang profiling. 

The co-founder and CEO of Staqu Technologies Atul Rai, said that Crime GPT will help tap into a digitised criminal database that will streamline the targeted searchers, “allowing law enforcement to retrieve precise information efficiently whether through written queries or voice commands.”

Through the partnership with the UP government, Staqu Technologies achieved significant outcomes, including a creation of a digital archive comprising of more than 900,000 criminal records.

Prashant Kumar, Director General of Police (DGP) for Uttar Pradesh, highlighted the transformative influence of Crime GPT on law enforcement operations and remarked, “Crime GPT’s ability to expedite information retrieval will greatly aid ongoing criminal investigations, streamlining procedural formalities and accelerating case resolutions.”
