I don’t know how should I feel about this, considering the current political climate in the UK.
Oh yes, “predictive policing”. I guess somebody haven’t read Phillip K. Dick’s The Minority Report, or thought it was an implementation guide rather than a cautionary tale.
This will be fine. After all, a government that understands technology so well it implemented the genius tech regulations in the OSA coupled with a Police force with officers so intelligent they never get the law wrong or have a growing reputation for violence against women can easily be trusted to not take the UK down a dystopian path where the non-white and/or poor and/or disabled will be targetted simply by living in an area where a crime once happened.
Inspector Inigo Montoya will likely find no shortage of six-fingered men, I suspect. The sooner this AI bubble bursts, the better.
This sounds like fairly normal machine learning models, not “advanced AI”.
