Summit on AI, Body-Worn Cameras, and the Future of Policing

In a recent multi-stakeholder convening at Stanford, led by Co-Director Jennifer Eberhardt, researchers, law enforcement leaders, policy makers, and technology experts came together to discuss the untapped potential of body-worn camera footage as large scale data to understand and improve policing and police-community relations.
The deployment of body-worn cameras represents the largest investment in policing in a generation. Yet their potential remains underutilized. A new set of conditions—advances in AI, widespread camera adoption, and academic research developments—presents a renewed opportunity. By rethinking how the cameras and the footage they collect can be used to improve policing in America, we can foster fairer, safer, and more equitable policing practices.
The summit explored these issues and attendees discussed frameworks for realizing the research potential of body-worn cameras for communities in California and beyond.
