"A positive prediction should launch an investigation, not put someone behind bars directly." That is the scariest thing I've read. All we need is a black box

"A positive prediction should launch an investigation, not put someone behind bars directly."
That is the scariest thing I've read. All we need is a black box to investigate people at anytime.
- williamtrask 9y agoThere are already thousands of black boxes. Consider satellite photography, malware detectors, fire alarms, sniffing dogs, credit fraud detectors. All of these are tools ("black boxes") used to launch investigations. The future of crime fighting is impossible without tools like these as criminals become more sophisticated. The real question is who owns them and are they audit-able? This blogpost is about making neural networks used for these purposes auditable by a third party without making them vulnerable to evasion by criminals.
- rrggrr 9y agoAgreed. Stop, assess and arrest is now audit-able thanks to body cameras and we're already seeing the results in greater accountability. However, with greater visual accountability has come de-policing, a serious problem in some cities.
- petre 9y agoYup, this sounds like software driven Minority Report.
