Crime and Algorithms: Why Technology Alone Can’t Ensure Safety

Quick Summary

• the UK government plans to introduce an AI-powered crime prediction tool to identify individuals deemed “high risk” for violence, relying on personal data like mental health history and addiction.
• Similar initiatives are underway globally:

– Argentina’s Artificial Intelligence Unit for Security uses machine learning for predictive policing and real-time surveillance.
– Canada’s police forces employ tools such as Clearview AI facial recognition alongside crime prediction systems in cities like Toronto and Vancouver.- Certain US cities pair AI facial recognition with street-level surveillance to track suspects.

• While such technologies evoke comparisons to the movie Minority Report, concerns about their ethical implications remain a primary point of debate.
