10% false positives is an enormous rate given how Police like to ‘find’ evidence and ‘elicit’ confessions.
It isn’t predicting individual crimes, just pattern recognition and extrapolation like how the weather is predicted.
“There are on average 4 shootings in November in this general area so there probably will be 4 again this year.” is the kind of prediction that AI is making.
Predictions with hallucinations is exactly how an effective justice system works.
So they are using it to try and decide on deployment?
If that is all they’re using it for I guess it isn’t too bad. As long as it isn’t accusing individuals of planning to commit a crime with a zero evidence.
It is probably going to be used to justify the disproportionate police attention paid to minority communities and to justify activities similar to stop and frisk.
The thing is don’t they already have crime stats? Presumably they’re already using them as justification so this won’t change much.
lol … if AI is wrong … we’ll make it right
That’s in a punitive system. Used in a transformative/preventive manner (which it will not), this can actually save lives and help people in need
Yeah, yeah. This is nothing. This is just a Minor(ity) Report.
Yup. About as exciting as triplets in a hot tub.
But what if it was some kind of hot tub Time machine… Turns to look at camera
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick-maker… of course, they’re triplets, it all fits!
Generative AI ≠ actual AI.
AI is AI. not all AI is AGI, but stable diffusion, LLMs and all the other ones are real AI. the only reason people disagree is because they watched too much sci-fi and think that AI is supposed to be sentient or whatever. hell, even the code controlling the creepers in Minecraft is called AI. in the game. you can spawn a creeper with the noai flag and it’ll make it so the creeper doesn’t do anything. quite a silly take to say it’s not ai just because you don’t like it. there’s many things to dislike about the modern state of AI, your argument is just shooting yourself in the foot.
Yeah! Real AI is expert systems and fuzzy logic! Generative AI’s capabilities and intelligence fail in comparison to Fuji Electric’s advanced temperature control systems!
How do you figure?
Because language models aren’t sentient?
Is that a requirement of AI?
Nobody but science fiction writers has ever said AI is sentient. You watch too many movies.
Do they have skull measurements in their dataset? It’s predestined to reproduce and cement existing biases.
Hey now, phrenology is a well documented scientific field
I have seen it before, and I liked it. “Person of Interest” on CBS. Though in real life, I’m not a fan.
You are being watched.
There are too many Samaritans already but no one has made The Machine.
If crime is that predictable, that would mean crime is isn’t caused by people’s choices but something else… like say mental illness, poverty, hunger, lack of social supports and that lots of cops locking up people in prisons as a deterrent won’t work to reduce crime… hmmm wait a second…
I mean you can train ai to look for really early signs of multiple diseases. It can predict the future, sort of
Didn’t one ai have a lot of false positives because it would say any picture of skin with a ruler in it was cancer? The moment it saw a ruler it responded with cancer because all the data it was fed about confirmed cancers had rulers in them.
AI is just a digital dumbass that every tech bro decided needs to be part of every part of your life from now on.
It’s an extremely powerful pattern recognition tool. There are uses for that, but your right that people are going the “if you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail” route.
Never heard about that one care to share the soup
Yeah, here you go.
Google for “ai cancer ruler” worked well, a few links down: https://venturebeat.com/business/when-ai-flags-the-ruler-not-the-tumor-and-other-arguments-for-abolishing-the-black-box-vb-live/
Detecting symptoms amd signs of a thing is not predicting the future.
That’s like seeing a car that isn’t going to stop, so you slow down before you might T-bone them. That’s not really “predicting the future” but just paying attention and calculating likelihoods.
I mean I can also create situations where I can 100% predict crime, like an old school protection racket.
Hey could you just scan me before I continue putting effort in earning money?
I thought the hand thing was (mostly) a thing of the past.
