Derbyshire Constabulary is investigating an officer accused of using artificial intelligence to create or generate “evidential material” used in criminal cases. Multiple outlets report that the allegation involves suspected perverting the course of justice, following claims the officer used AI in a way that produced or fabricated evidence. Derbyshire Police says a criminal investigation has been launched and that the officer has been removed from frontline duties while the matter is examined. Coverage also states that the officer’s work intersected with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), and that the CPS is engaging with defence lawyers and courts regarding potentially affected cases. Several reports describe the allegation as the first known case in the UK involving police use of AI to “create evidence,” though they note there have been previous controversies related to AI-generated material used by police in other contexts. The cases potentially impacted are not detailed in the available summaries, and the officer is not described as having been found guilty. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities assessing whether any evidence used in court statements may be affected.
