UCR and USC Researchers Receive NSF Grant to Improve Traffic Stops Using AI
Associate Professor Nick Weller of UCR's Department of Political Science and collaborators at University of Southern California received a grant from the National Science Foundation titled: Measuring and Improving Traffic Stops: An AI-Powered Approach to Analyzing Bodyworn Camera Footage. The grant will help to fund the Everyday Respect project's development of AI-powered tools for analyzing police-community interactions during traffic stops. The models will be deployed to better understand interactions between LAPD officers and drivers and potentially improve outcomes. More information about the Everyday Respect project can be found HERE.
