Would be quite interesting to see how past history is an indicative of future events. What happens if someone has one or a few criminal records? What happens if such people were to be in the same supermarket after serving their sentences?
Ha, they ought to try and solve a few that have happened first, hilarious!
> For example, if one individual buys a product, which on its own seems perfectly innocent, the system will make the link to another person’s purchases that, when combined with the other products could be used to build a bomb.
Damn. I’ll have to coordinate with my next door neighbour.
Whenever she buys fertiliser for her garden, I’ll have to give up having sugar in my coffee for a bit.
Ah, dystopia.
So fucking glad I’m leaving this country in 2 years.
As a cop I can assure you this is utter pish.
I can tell you already if all the local shoplifters in my area are going to commit crime. If they walk into a store they’re going to steal. See, no AI or fancy computer software needed.
Pattern recognition has a place and could be a useful tool in an intelligence setting or OCG role to quickly cross relate intelligence. But for day to day shopliftings it’s absolutely wasted and won’t ever be used.
This is a very puffed up article to describe basic comparison software which picks up on duplicated information and might now add extra functionality. For example the timing calls are received or persons spotted in a certain area, it may now be able to tell you from ANPR data where someone might travel. All very useful in certain situations, but it’s not getting wasted on Junkie Jim nicking 15 steaks, I already know what flat he’s in, I don’t need AI for that.
I’m going to the hardware shop tomorrow for duct tape. Is there anything I should avoid purchasing with that
Using proper recording of crime will predict that which is predictable. I predict dippers operating in the West End in the run up to Christmas.
The real issue is having a realistic and sustainable policing presence to deter offenders.
Isn’t that exactly what they should be doing?
It’s called Crime Prevention you fuck-knuckle.
Wait, is it ok to submerge in fluid 3 supersmart clones all day?? Are their working conditions ok?
Oh fuck off if true. What’s next? Locking people up for not voting Tory?
Government to create the perfect socio economic conditions to create crime before it happens.
Let’s be realistic, this won’t be used to stop gangs, it’ll be used to find offensive posts on twitter and reddit as they are an easy nick.
“You are under arrest for someone you are about to offend”
It’ll be an absolute money printer.
I remember when the minority report movie came out, even then I always perceived it as a story about AI. Machine learning is boring so stick a couple of supernatural beings in a swimming pool to spice it up a bit.
So, they are going to do even less now than they do already! Except to now guess when a crime is going to happen that they will be near!
This totally isn’t going to have problems in the future. This is gonna be a problem proof solution to crime
Thought crime isn’t too far away. In the old days we used to call it having an opinion….
been a minute since ive seen that movie, but wasnt the “tech” based on 3 people who can see the future?
Do we have those people?
They’re gonna wait at the registry office and look out for kids called Kenzie, Verity, etc.
Sounds great but it won’t work or it won’t be needed.
They will spend so much time chasing false positives that the entire force will forget this technology ever existed.
>Sources say the technology, which conjures up the plot of Hollywood film Minority Report, will also be capable of hunting down drug gangs, paedophile rings and terrorist cells.
Well they’re really trying hard to manufacture consent for all these new surveillance tools these days. Of course it’ll only be used to track down Satanic serial killers and people who cannibalize pensioners, promise.
None of this even sounds like machine learning or AI. It sounds like basic data collection and aggregation. Stupid clickbait shit.
I’d rather they focused on clawing back all the money stolen via VIP lanes during Covid.
