ChatGPT used by Thai police to track down hit-and-run driver
In Udon Thani Province, Thailand, police have used ChatGPT to help them track down a hit-and-run driver whose actions killed two people on 6 July.
According to the Bangkok Post, the driver fled the scene following the fatal crash.
However, authorities later found a small auto part suspected to be from the suspect’s vehicle at the scene of the crime.
AI identifies the auto part
Apart from reviewing security camera footage, officers used ChatGPT to analyse a photo of the auto part, asking the AI to identify the specific Toyota model it belonged to.
In reportedly less than three seconds, the part was identified as a “front bumper upper reinforcement” with the serial number 52113-0K140.
It also said that the part belonged to a Toyota Hilux Vigo Champ.
