Episode 12: Sensors Save Us?
from Fireside Chats with Empathic Futures Lab Hosted by Empathic Futures Lab
Sensors Save Us? features a lively discussion regarding the impact that sensors and information collection may have on the police forces of the near future. We start by considering how officers deal with information being collected about them and the ways that can influence how one would act in specific scenarios. We also discuss the role data collection plays in relation to their firearms. Finally all this culminates in the idea that if you could use data collection to manipulate the stress levels of an officer in the field it would allow them more opportunity to act as a community officer, flipping the public perspective that is often associated with police forces today. Additionally we have included a few articles that helped inspire this conversation.
