Postgraduate researcher Mythri Mysuru Prabhakar is conducting a socio-technical examination of The Safe City Project, a first-of-its-kind predictive policing intervention implemented in Bengaluru. The Safe City Project leverages artificial intelligence (AI) for real-time biometric identification to monitor, detect, and prevent crimes against women in the city.
To study the integration of AI within the criminal justice system in India, Mythri is using a combination of institutional ethnography and a socio-technical audit tool designed for the Indian legal context, with a focus on the constitutional principles of equality before the law and equal protection of the law.
