Autopsy in 5 Minutes: How AI is Revolutionizing Crime Solving in Dubai

Dubai Police are setting a new standard in crime-solving efficiency. While traditional methods of investigation could take days, if not months, to solve a crime, Dubai is leading the way with innovative AI technology that can wrap up investigations in just five minutes.

The Need for Speed: Crime-Solving Timelines

Dubai is known for its rapid development and forward-thinking initiatives, and its approach to crime-solving is no exception.

According to statistics, Dubai Police take a mere 10 days to solve a crime, compared to two months in Germany, 35 days in the United States, and a staggering 180 days in France. This significant difference underscores the effectiveness of Dubai's approach and highlights the urgent need for innovative solutions in law enforcement.

Virtual Autopsy: Redefining Forensic Medicine

One of the most remarkable advancements in crime-solving technology is virtual autopsy. Gone are the days when forensic experts had to painstakingly examine a corpse, conducting traditional autopsies that could take hours to complete. With virtual autopsy powered by AI, the process is streamlined, efficient, and incredibly accurate.

Major General Ahmed Thani bin Ghalita Al Muhairi, Director of the General Department of Criminal Evidence and Criminology, sheds light on this revolutionary technology. He explains, "The latest technology we have is virtual autopsy, what we used to see in movies, when they see a corpse, the doctor takes it, opens its chest and sees the organs, and this process takes approximately five hours. Now, we use artificial intelligence so that we skip this process to a small process that determines for us whether we need an autopsy or not."

Upholding Dignity and Respect

Beyond its efficiency, virtual autopsy also takes into account psychological matters, societal values, and traditions. This ensures that not every person must endure the emotional distress of watching their loved ones undergo a traditional autopsy, unless absolutely necessary.

By minimizing the need for extensive procedures, Dubai Police are not only accelerating the resolution of criminal cases but also upholding the dignity of the deceased and their families.

Hence, the integration of AI technology in crime-solving is transforming the way law enforcement agencies operate, paving the way for a more efficient, accurate, and respectful approach to justice.
