Modern AI technology may be able to solve the Palm Murder. The hope is that the new chatbot Palme GPT can provide undiscovered clues in the hunt for the killer. – The questions you can get answers to that are in the source material, but which are difficult to find if you read document by document, says Peter Örneholm, one of the developers behind the chatbot. Already before, the gigantic Palme investigation of 500,000 pages has been collected in the Palmemordsarkivet, an open online archive. Now the system developers Peter Örneholm and Jakob Ehn have created the chatbot “Palme GPT”, where you can ask questions about the Palme investigation and get answers – with a source reference to the large database. – The idea appeared from a person on Twitter, it made me and my colleague turn on the idea gun, says Peter Örneholm. – We have received an enormous number of requests from people who would like to use it. But a tool like this should be in the hands of a criminal investigator or police officer. No name of perpetrator One of Sweden’s foremost experts on the Palm murder, the journalist and author Gunnar Wall, is positive about “Palme GPT”. – It’s exciting, can probably be useful too. The name of the perpetrator may not be in the investigation, but there are probably things that would help us get the answer, says Gunnar Wall. Not for the public The two developers will not release the “Palme GPT” chatbot to the public. The police keep an eye on how chatbots can be used, says Jan Olsson, crime commissioner at the National IT Crime Centre. – AI will be a large part of our work, and will be on a larger scale. The inferences drawn by bots must always be checked. But you get tracks much faster. Then you can exclude and verify, so you become more efficient, says Jan Olsson.
