KICS-AI investigation summaries and legal research
Police expanded KICS-AI nationwide, but recorded usage later declined
Problem
Investigators needed help preparing documents and researching precedents. Using external AI services raised concerns about disclosure of investigation information.
Approach
Police expanded KICS-AI nationwide on November 17, 2025, following a July pilot. LG's EXAONE model connected to the internal criminal-justice information system to summarize documents, retrieve precedents and draft warrant applications. Later reporting identified limited precedent coverage and support restricted to text documents.
Results
Takeaway
Nationwide availability did not establish sustained use. Police records showed fewer connections in January than in the launch month.
