Bastrop County Commissioners approved a licensing agreement for an artificial intelligence technology that will assist the Sheriff’s Office with future cases.
Long story short
The one-year licensing agreement with New York City-based Clearview AI carries a price tag of $17,100 that will be paid for with forfeiture funds, according to county documents. Forfeiture funds are assets seized by law enforcement, according to the Department of Justice.
“Clearview AI is another tool to help with identification of persons involved in a case, helping serve justice for responsible parties,” Bastrop County Sheriff Maurice Cook said. “It is highly effective and accurate.”
