DA explores AI tools to triage video evidence amid massive backlog
Summary
The 23rd Judicial District reported roughly 45,000 minutes of video assessed last year and described pilot use of AI-assisted tools to index and triage footage; DA staff emphasized that AI would augment but not replace human review.
DA staff told Elbert County commissioners that the volume of video evidence has grown to the point that manual review is impractical. Garrick Storgaard and George Brockler said an internal assessment equated the year's footage to about 182 hours per day, and they are testing vendor tools that can scrape video for keywords and other prompts to prioritize material for human review.
Brockler cautioned that AI cannot be relied on alone: "You need that technology plus people to be able to do this because you have to have a human in this loop," Garrick said. The office said it will use a combination of one-time forfeiture funds and proposed recurring resources to purchase and staff the technology, and that a discovery technician and additional IT capacity are part of the plan.
