About this episode

Episode: 00295 Released on December 1, 2025 Description: In this episode of Analyst Talk with Jason Elder, Jason sits down with Dr. Andreas “Olli” Olligschlaeger, a pioneer with 35 years of experience in crime analysis, GIS, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data-driven investigation. Olli shares how a chance academic assignment led him into the Pittsburgh Police Department’s narcotics division, where he built early GIS systems, conducted street-level analysis, and became one of the first to apply neural networks to predictive policing.

He describes his transition to federal analytic work, the evolution of crime-fighting technology, the rise of graph databases, and the challenges of bridging communication gaps among academics, developers, and law enforcement practitioners. Olli also discusses groundbreaking work on human trafficking investigations, large-scale web scraping, facial recognition, and winning third place in the IBM Watson AI for Good XPRIZE. The episode closes with reflections on humility, service, and using your skills to improve your corner of the world. 🎧 Listen, share, and keep talking! [Note:  Description produced by ChatGPT.]
