In an era where technology is reshaping industries at an unprecedented pace, the New Jersey Innovation Institute (NJII) stands at the forefront of innovation, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI). Through strategic collaborations with the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office and Cognome, NJII is pioneering advancements that promise to redefine both law enforcement and healthcare sectors.
Enhancing Law Enforcement with AI-Integration
NJII’s collaboration with the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office (BCPO) marks a significant leap forward in law enforcement technology. By integrating AI into body-worn cameras (BWCs), NJII is enhancing the capabilities of law enforcement officers, ensuring greater safety and accountability. With a focus on training, NJII is aiming to assist BCPO in proactively identifying strengths and potential problem areas at the hub, allowing for a trickle-down effect at the local level in a latter phase. This initiative builds on the success of previous projects, such as the one with the Newark Police Department, and addresses the growing need to manage the influx of digital evidence effectively.
With New Jersey mandating the use of BWCs for all officers, a substantial $58 million investment has been made, with Bergen County receiving $5.1 million for over 2,500 cameras. The partnership focuses on evaluating and improving BWC policies and capabilities, utilizing AI to manage and prioritize video footage effectively. A study at Arizona State University is currently assessing the impact of these AI tools on officer behavior and community interactions, highlighting the transformative potential of AI in law enforcement practices.
Transforming Healthcare with Cognome
In the healthcare sector, NJII’s strategic partnership with Cognome is set to revolutionize patient care through advanced AI and machine learning (ML) solutions. This collaboration aims to leverage Cognome’s ethical AI tools alongside NJII’s professional services to enhance clinical intelligence and operational efficiencies.
The partnership focuses on high-value use cases, integrating AI models with electronic health records (EHRs) to provide real-time insights to healthcare providers. Notable AI solutions include a sepsis reduction model with the lowest flag rate in the industry and AutoChart AI, which significantly reduces manual chart abstraction. Additionally, the ExplainerAI platform enhances trustworthiness and transparency in AI models, addressing privacy and compliance needs.
