The Artificial Intelligence Unit will be made up of police officers and agents from other security forces. Its tasks will include “patrolling open social platforms, applications and websites,” where it will seek to “detect potential threats, identify movements of criminal groups or anticipate disturbances.” It will also be dedicated to “analyzing images from security cameras in real time in order to detect suspicious activities or identify wanted persons using facial recognition.” The resolution also awards it powers worthy of science fiction: “Using machine learning algorithms to analyze historical crime data and thus predict future crimes.” Another purpose will be to discover “suspicious financial transactions or anomalous behavior that could indicate illegal activities.”
The new unit will not only deal with virtual spaces. It will be able to “patrol large areas using drones, provide aerial surveillance and respond to emergencies,” as well as perform “dangerous tasks, such as defusing explosives, using robots.”
A digital policy specialist says, the initiative essentially means “illegal intelligence disguised as the use of ‘modern’ technologies.” Among the implicit risks, that there will be little control and many different security forces with access to the information that’s collected.
Does that mean that if we flood #ArgentineTwitter with bots tweeting very long AI-generated fake news stories saying that the politicians are violent criminals, they’ll get arrested?
- Politician: We’re going to use AI to predict crimes.
- AI: That politician is currently committing a crime! Arrest him immediately!
- Politician: We are discontinuing the use of AI to predict crimes. The technology is clearly not ready yet…
more like adding an exemption for themselves and unleashing it onto us
Motherfuckers so Minority Report and decided they want that future now. Did they not see how that shit ended?
Truly the worst type of precogs
Only 23 years after Minority Report. But also, holy shit Minority Report was 23 years ago.
The Rick And Morty episode is still pretty fresh
The downward spiral is way steeper than expected. At this rate, we aren’t going to last another decade.
That’s silly. If he wants to predict the future he can just ask his psychic dead dog, like he usually does
Someone should post this to ancap and libertarian subreddits
Some of them are self-aware enough to know they are despots.
Realizing they are wrong, is the crux.
I can’t wait until it’s time to kill the masters.
How effective could it be about corporate and government crimes discussed behind closed doors?
Immediately came to mind…
You are guilty of thinking about having Merlot with that steak instead of a local Malbec.
Dude is clearly speedrunning something
speedrunning
speedruining
That is just dumb.
The only “patterns” they will discover are biased ones.
Great news! Hell be able to avoid his next crypto-scam!
It looks like the state surveillance fo their citizens everywhere, including social network is from a very rare kind of questions where the position of neo-libertarians meets the position of neo-liberals.
