(b) (1) If a law enforcement officer or any member of a law enforcement agency uses artificial intelligence to create an official report, whether fully or partially, the first draft created shall be retained by the agency for as long as the official report is retained. (2) Except for the official report, a draft of any report created with the use of artificial intelligence shall not constitute an officerâs statement. (c) The agency utilizing artificial intelligence to generate a first draft or official report shall maintain an audit trail for as long as the official report is retained that, at a minimum, identifies both of the following: (1) The person who used artificial intelligence to create a report. (2) The video and audio footage used to create a report, if any.

(B) Pursuant to a court order. (2) A contracted vendor may access data processed by artificial intelligence for the purposes of troubleshooting, bias mitigation, accuracy improvement, or system refinement. (e) For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply: (1) âArtificial intelligenceâ means an engineered or machine-based system that varies in its level of autonomy and that can, for explicit or implicit objectives, infer from the input it receives how to generate outputs that can influence physical or virtual environments. âArtificial intelligenceâ as used in this section applies to artificial intelligence systems that automatically draft police report narratives based upon an analysis of in-car or dash-mounted cameras, or body-worn camera audio or video, and artificial intelligence systems that analyze a law enforcement officerâs dictated report to generate a police report narrative automatically enhanced by generative artificial intelligence. (2) âContracted vendorâ means a third party which has made artificial intelligence available to law enforcement for the purpose of generating a draft police report. (3) âFirst draftâ means the initial document or narrative produced solely by artificial intelligence.
