The Federal Police has been using a combination of artificial intelligence and manual work to identify the supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro involved in the attacks on the buildings of the Congress, the Federal Supreme Court, and the Presidential Palace.
The experts from the INC (National Institute of Criminalistics) and forensic specialists from the INI (National Institute of Identification) have been supplying the operations since the attacks on January 8th with materials they produced, which will be used in investigations regarding the vandalism against the headquarters of the Three Powers.
According to investigators, the forensic specialists are working to arrest suspects who have not been detained on the 8th or on the following day, with the closure of the camp in front of the Army headquarters.
In these cases, they use identification software and carry out a prosopographic examination, in which the elements of the face are compared to assign compatibility with the images.
Experts from the INC's audiovisual sector use artificial intelligence developed by the Federal Police to produce a report with all the dynamics of the attacks and identify the vandals who appear on the closed circuit cameras of the buildings, videos collected on cell phones of the prisoners and images collected in the investigations.
