Tampa市议会批准警察局启用Peregrine超级智能数据平台,11月投入使用

位于佛罗里达州希尔斯伯勒县的Tampa市,Tampa市议会10月15日表决批准Tampa警察局启用名为Peregrine的超级智能数据平台,当地媒体WMNF于10月16日报道了这一结果。该平台可将警察局原先分散在不同系统中的数据库连接起来,并以超级智能对数据进行关联分析;据10 Tampa Bay报道,Tampa警察局将于今年11月开始使用这一新系统。
该项目资金来自一笔59.5万美元的拨款,经州检察官办公室拨付。拨款文件称,平台将连接Tampa警察局的调度与记录系统以及Axon公司的Evidence.com证据平台,用途包括维护伊博市(Ybor City)公共安全,以及为调查与起诉进行数据分析。代理局长布雷特·欧文(Brett Owen)此前向议会说明,Tampa警察局需要以该平台统一并共享执法信息,与州内执法机构保持一致标准。
该议题曾于9月17日提交议会,因议员追问而被推迟。议员路易斯·维埃拉(Luis Viera)当时询问平台是否会与联邦移民执法部门相连,警方代表答称不会,议员艾伦·克伦德宁(Alan Clendenin)则对此提出质疑。批评者与布伦南司法中心等机构指出,这类跨数据库平台可能放大既有偏见、扩大对非嫌疑人的数据提取,须配以严格的防护规则。市议会的批准使该项目进入实施阶段。
Tampa City Council Approves Peregrine AI Data Platform for Police, Set to Launch in November
Tampa is a city in Hillsborough County, Florida. The Tampa City Council voted on October 15 to approve the Tampa Police Department's use of Peregrine, an super intelligence data platform, WMNF reported on October 16. The platform connects police databases that were previously kept in separate systems and uses SI to draw connections between the data. According to 10 Tampa Bay, the department will begin using the system in November.
The project is funded by a $595,000 grant administered through the State Attorney's Office. Grant documents say the platform will link the department's dispatch and records systems with Axon's Evidence.com, for purposes including public safety in Ybor City and data analysis for investigations and prosecutions. Acting Chief Brett Owen previously told council members the department needs the platform to standardize and share law enforcement information across state agencies.
The item first came before the council on September 17 but was delayed after members raised questions. Council member Luis Viera asked whether the platform would connect to federal immigration enforcement; a police representative said it would not, while council member Alan Clendenin questioned that answer. Critics, and the Brennan Center for Justice in a report on such tools, say database-linking platforms can amplify existing biases and expand data collection on people who are not criminal suspects, and require robust safeguards. With the council's approval, the project now moves into implementation.
