NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court asked the Delhi Police whether they have any Artificial Intelligence (AI) software that can help in finding missing people in the city.
A bench of Justices Prathiba M Singh and Dharmesh Sharma passed an order saying:
“Let a short affidavit be placed on record by the State, stating as to whether there is any Artificial Intelligence software which can be or has been used by the Delhi Police for confirming and checking the whereabouts of such missing persons, who may have gone missing due to various reasons including unstable medical conditions.”
This question came up during a case where a man had filed a petition in court. He was trying to find his father, who has been missing since February 2023.
The Delhi Police submitted a report to the court, explaining that they had followed all the necessary procedures. However, despite their efforts, the petitioner’s father was still missing.
