How AI Can Help Solve The Charlie Kirk Assassination

The Charlie Kirk assassination is abhorrent. No matter what anyone says, they don't deserve to lose their life.

While it seems like it's only a matter of time before they catch the suspect, it's still important to think about how AI could help in this situation.

Crimes like this are full of all sorts of emotions, including anger and fear. AI acts as a neutral party that can take all the information, separate facts from fiction, and highlight where investigators should focus their efforts.

When emotions and adrenaline are involved, it clouds our perception of reality. This is well documented in witnesses. Some people may think they saw the suspect where a blue shirt, while others may think it's green.

Additionally, situations like this can easily turn into a witch hunt, where panic permeates everyone involved, crowding their judgement and diluting the quality of investigations further.

Witch hunts are well documented in hurting investigations. One of them I highlighted on CrimeOwl is the Kelly Dae Wilson case, that led to a "Satanic Panic" along with people charged.

The charges were eventually dropped, as most of the evidence was circumstantial. That case still has never been solved, and many believe the "Satanic Panic" is what distracted valuable investigator resources, leading to the case going cold.

The way the system is set up today causes a lot of human error. Investigators are overworked and often underpaid. It's difficult (to say the least) for a single investigator to not only manage and juggle dozens of cases, but also tap into their human creativity and intuition to solve the case.

To top it off, they have lives outside of work, where they make a conscious effort to decompress. I often tell private investigators that I can't even remember what I ate for breakfast yesterday.

So, how can an investigator remember a key detail from a highly emotional event or something that happened 5 years ago?

That's exactly why we need AI for investigations. It eliminates the grunt work of investigations and parses all the most important information.

CrimeOwl, for example, acts as a central, secure, and encrypted platform that investigators can upload case files to in real-time. It eliminates the cold start of investigations.

You don't have to remember every little detail. Instead, you upload thousands of files in just a few clicks, and can easily jog your memory with the data in the dashboard.

In fast-moving investigations like this, where information is bombarding investigators from multiple directions, platforms like CrimeOwl can focus them in on what matters.

With the Charlie Kirk case, the FBI could easily upload leads, tips, and clues into CrimeOwl and easily make connections along the way.

One of the biggest problems with investigations is file management. Files get strewn across multiple different locations.

And each time, the investigator has to re-familiarize themselves with that file over and over again.

CrimeOwl streamlines that process from the start, in a secure and encrypted way.

Let's now consider if law enforcement or the FBI is having trouble figuring out who the suspect is. Platforms like CrimeOwl can easily compile all the information and form easy-to-see connections to the murder weapon, their timeline, and how to prosecute them.

To sum it up, platforms like CrimeOwl:

• Eliminate the grunt work of file management

• Streamline file management processes

• Extract key insights so investigators focus on what matters

• Enables investigators to use more creativity and intuition

• Minimizes the human error that comes with emotions
