- I think we're seeing a renaissance in the pattern recognition forms of evidence, so finger marks, footwear marks. There's been lots of challenges with those forms of evidence over the last ten years, probably going a little bit out of favour. And yet what we're beginning to see now with AI is that you can take a photo of a mark with your phone, compare that mark to the database and get real-time insight. Ruth says there's a renaissance in looking at patterns in evidence, such as finger marks or footwear marks. Renaissance means new interest or activity in a particular topic or area. This kind of evidence went a little bit out of favour over recent years because of the excitement around DNA evidence. If something is out of favour, it's less popular or appealing. But AI could mean that patterns in finger marks or footwear marks are useful in solving crimes again. This is because AI can be used to compare a picture of a mark with a database of pictures from other crimes and get real-time insight. The adjective real-time means the information is presented at the same time that it's happening. Yes.

To find these patterns, lots of private information would need to be collected and police usually have to give clear reasons why they need access to certain information in their investigations. It's unlikely an AI-powered robot would ever replace a detective anytime soon.
