Dystopia? Britannia kehittää järjestelmää, joka ennustaisi sen, kenestä tulee murhaaja

Järjestelmä yhdistelee mm. terveystietoja ja muuta hyvinkin henkilökohtaista dataa ja vertailee sitä rikoksista tuomittujen ihmisten taustoihin. Näin pyrittäisiin löytämään tulevat murhaajat, vaikka he eivät olisi koskaan syyllistyneet rikoksiin.

AfterDawn · Britannia kehittää työkalua, joka ennustaisi todennäköisimmät murhaajatBy Petteri Pyyny

1/ No, this is not Minority Report. It’s worse.

After reading headline after headline comparing the findings from our investigation to the film #MinorityReport, we thought we'd set the record straight.

The UK Ministry of Justice is piloting a ‘Homicide Prediction’ tool—not in a sci-fi future, but right now. And no, it’s not powered by some psychic soup in a “Precrime” department. It’s a very real project, misusing people’s personal data to make biased assumptions and threatening our rights.

Someone's watched the movie "#MinorityReport" too many times 🙄

The country’s far-right president #JavierMilei this week created the Artificial Intelligence Applied to Security Unit, which the legislation says will use “#MachineLearning #algorithms to analyse historical crime data to predict #FutureCrimes”.
