What’s the difference between **generative AI** and **predictive AI**, and how do they impact policing and public safety? Stephanie Sylvestre explains:

🧠 **Generative AI** = Creates new content based on past knowledge (like ChatGPT).
📊 **Predictive AI** = Analyzes data to forecast future events.

Stephanie compares AI to the medical field—just like you wouldn’t see one doctor for everything, AI serves different purposes! Understanding these distinctions is key as we navigate its role in law enforcement and beyond.

🎙️ Powerful Clip from *Black Arm of the Law* 🚨

In this intense moment, Dr. Cameron Gilbert recounts a life-altering experience where he jumped into a gang fight outside his hospital to save a young boy’s life. As police formed a perimeter, the violence continued, and the chilling reality of how policing, healthcare, and systemic neglect intersect became clear.

🗣️ "You don’t police these people. You clean up the bodies, do your investigation, and move on."

Dr. Gilbert sheds light on the harsh truth he faced in the 9th Ward, where the lines between protection and neglect blur. He dives deep into the importance of proximity to the problem, challenging both healthcare and advocacy groups to do more than just talk.

This clip is a raw reminder that real change happens when we confront the problems head-on. 💥
