South Australia's Auditor-General reported that South Australia Police (SAPOL) was already using AI-type tools for facial recognition matched against CCTV and custody photographs, mobile phone detection cameras (used to identify drivers using a phone while driving), and social media monitoring, with further plans reported for AI-assisted interview transcription and machine learning tools intended to identify investigative leads and previously hidden connections between cases.

This entry bundles several related capabilities together because the Auditor-General's own report described them collectively as part of a wider review of the force's technology use, rather than confirming each one's operational status, scale or vendor separately. That is a genuine limit on what can be said here: this is an accountability body's summary of what a force is using and planning, not a procurement record or force disclosure naming individual systems. Where any one of these capabilities is later confirmed with its own named vendor and deployment scale, it would be a candidate to split out into its own more specific entry.
