Summary
An investigative piece examining Cybercheck, a controversial AI-powered tool created by Nova Scotia entrepreneur Adam Mosher that claims to determine if someone was at a crime scene and committed a crime — even without witnesses. Despite being used across the U.S. in criminal investigations, the tool's creator refuses to disclose how it works, and inconsistencies in his court testimony about both himself and the software have raised serious concerns among U.S. police, tech experts, and lawyers about its reliability and validity in the criminal justice system.
