Toronto police are deploying artificial intelligence to analyse evidence in the Barry and Honey Sherman murder case. This marks the first known application of AI as an investigative tool by Toronto law enforcement in this specific investigation, though AI is used routinely in other jurisdictions.
The AI is expected to sift through large volumes of data, potentially identifying patterns and connections that human investigators might miss. This could include analysing documents, digital communications, and other pieces of evidence to generate new leads or corroborate existing theories. The use of AI reflects an effort to leverage advanced technology to solve a high-profile and complex case that has remained unsolved for several years.
It is anticipated that the AI will accelerate the investigative process and provide a more comprehensive analysis of available data. The outcome of this AI-driven approach could set a precedent for future investigations, demonstrating the potential of AI to enhance police work and improve the efficiency of solving complex crimes.
