From the who-needs-precogs dept.:
Researchers are alleged to be using algorithms to analyse the information of thousands of people, including victims of crime, as they try to identify those at greatest risk of committing serious violent offences.
The scheme was originally called the “homicide prediction project”, but its name has been changed to “sharing data to improve risk assessment”. The Ministry of Justice hopes the project will help boost public safety but campaigners have called it “chilling and dystopian”.

Me bloody psycho-pass turned red yesterday, shite!
Does it involve 3 people floating in a pool?
This surely won’t turn out to decide that POC are more likely to kill…
As a tool to help find patters and collate police reports and notes this could be very useful. We’ve recently seen how the police dropped the investigation of Russel Brand, while a TV documentary found the truth. I’m betting there are tons of cases like this. Software tools (including LLMs) can scan large amounts of text. And there might be lots of cases that will be obvious once you look at all the pieces.
So psychopass… gl with that.
Well that’s not good.
When can I sign up for your newsletter?
I’ll make sure to tag you in future hard hitting journalism from yours truly.
The Demo-pol is coming. Westworld Season 2 is comming. Can’t wait to see how the expiriment goes “wrong”.
Fine, whatever… all I want is that sweet computer interface
Will they also create prediction-proof glass? Because they’ll need it.
