What happened
LexisNexis Risk Solutions has launched Accurint One, a law enforcement technology platform that combines investigative data, advanced analytics and governed artificial intelligence within a single environment for US criminal justice agencies.
Accurint One represents a fundamental break from the traditional investigative technology model used by law enforcement agencies. The platform is designed to consolidate information and analytical tools, reducing the manual work involved in assembling an investigative picture from multiple sources. LexisNexis Risk Solutions has incorporated governance controls into Accurint One, recognizing the responsibilities associated with using artificial intelligence in criminal justice. Trained professionals remain responsible for investigative decisions, even when AI systems assist with organizing information, detecting patterns and identifying potential connections. Authorized users must interpret the findings, assess their relevance and determine what investigative actions are appropriate.
Why it matters
The platform is designed to address the fragmentation of investigative information across agency systems, national databases, commercial data providers and separate technologies. It allows investigators to access relevant records, identify relationships, verify information and eliminate false leads without repeatedly switching between disconnected systems. This approach has the potential to improve the efficiency and accuracy of investigations, ultimately leading to better outcomes for cases. The platform's approach separates automated analytical assistance from human judgment, with AI supporting the investigation rather than independently directing its outcome. Accurint One is designed to help law enforcement agencies move from fragmented searches toward a consolidated understanding of cases, giving investigators access to relevant information and analytical capabilities within their existing investigative processes. The platform's AI-supported functions can summarize records and analyze relationship networks, identifying connections that investigators can examine and corroborate. LexisNexis Risk Solutions developed Accurint One in collaboration with criminal justice professionals, bringing together LexisNexis Risk Solutions data, connected partner information and agencies' internal records. The system is intended to support investigations from initial information gathering through evidence assessment and the development of actionable findings.
