The collaboration, which integrates the aiWARE-powered
application Veritone Redact with the GovQA Public Records
Management Solution, addresses the challenges faced by agencies,
especially those in public safety overwhelmed by records requests
and heightened calls for accountability. This will help agencies
expedite requests in accordance with records laws, save taxpayer
money and foster greater public trust.
“As cameras capture more of our daily lives, we’ve seen a
massive increase in crimes and law enforcement interactions
captured on video, whether it be by police body cam or a citizen’s
smartphone,” said Jon Gacek, Head of Government, Legal and
Compliance at Veritone. “When the public asks for that footage,
delivering it quickly, one of the hallmarks of transparency, is a
challenge because personal information has to be redacted. AI gives
agencies the power to redact in mere hours what used to take them
days.”
With the power to analyze unstructured data at high speeds,
Veritone Redact helps agencies automate the redaction of sensitive
information within video and audio-based evidence. The integration
with GovQA’s CJIS-compliant, cloud-based public records management
platform provides government agencies with an efficient way to
quickly redact Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and
release records in response to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
and other public record requests.
“Since March, our customers have seen a 56% increase in the
volume of public records requests,” said William Repole, COO at
GovQA. “This significant increase adds to the daily strain
government agencies feel in terms of balancing public transparency
with individual privacy, especially within public safety agencies.
This joint automation will serve as the first step in providing
immediate relief from this balancing act, while ensuring compliance
with privacy laws. Future AI-enabled compliance workflows will only
continue to reduce manual intervention when dealing with records
requests while freeing up precious resources that can be redeployed
in these challenging times.”
