We talk to a lot of investigations teams across Australia and New Zealand. Many aren’t using AI in investigations yet.
That’s fine. That’s not the risk.
The risk is the day someone asks for your position on AI, and you don’t have one.
It might be the Secretary. The Minister’s office. Or even a magistrate.
Or it might be finding out an investigator has already run a witness statement through ChatGPT to tidy it up. Or dropped an exhibit into Claude for a quick summary. It’s more common than you’d think.
On 26 November we’re running a workshop in Hobart: Explainable AI, Defensible Investigations: Governance in Practice.
We'll cover why generic AI tools fall short for investigative work, how current AI governance frameworks apply, in particular the QLD Foundational Artificial Intelligence Risk Assessment (FAIRA) framework, and what makes an AI output explainable rather than just fast: decision understanding, traceability and predictability. There's a hands-on session with the Comtrac AI evidence mapping, AI Smart Forms and Prompt Library as well.
Please reach out to innov8@comtrac.com.au if you have any questions.
