  Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize many industries, including law enforcement. One area where AI could have a significant impact is in eliminating police brutality around the world. In this blog post, we will explore how AI can be used to prevent and address police brutality and the challenges that must be overcome to make this a reality.

Reports of excessive force, torture, and extrajudicial killings by police officers have become increasingly common, leading to widespread public outrage and calls for reform.

One of the most high-profile cases of police brutality in Nigeria occurred in October 2020, when a video surfaced on social media showing officers of the now-disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) shooting a young man in the presence of other police officers. The video sparked widespread protests and demands for accountability, leading the government to disband SARS and replace it with a new unit.
