1984 meets Minority Report.
Guarantee it’s just racist
Psychopass vibes
We will have to see how this plays out in court. Somehow I think the court system will reject the idea of prejustice. I expect them to get sued before to long
If all this ends up doing is flag dark-skinned people as guilty, the courts will love it.
I mean, if someone gets arrested because a machine predicted they would shoplift but no actual shoplift had been attempted, I’d like to believe the case would be thrown out for lack of any crime having been committed, but I don’t know if I have that much faith left in humanity anymore
They built the Minority Report from the hit film, “Don’t build the Minority Report”!!
By giving law enforcement a heat map of the area they cover, they could see potential crime hotspots in real time through the predictive crime map (PCM). This allows for better allocation of police officers and for more effective coverage.
Oh Jesus Christ. As if beat cops need a map. I assure you, after a month or two on the streets, they know exactly where the bad spots are, down to the blocks and homes. Hell, I’ve seen cops on a first name basis with offenders and constant callers.
Imagine cops asking for this tech, admitting they’re failing at one of the most basic parts of the job. “Really need this chief, we have no idea what’s going on out there!” Or, “This could be an important tool Mr. Mayor. Our street cops are clueless.” If the cops know anything at all, it’s where they’re going to face hassle.
The recidivism prediction is the evil shit here. Aren’t judges already using such systems when sentencing and calculating parole? Some algo assigns numbers to X,Y and Z factors, pops out a score?
Are we doing this again? 😲 😡
