MODERATORS
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.
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.
