Man, I can't wait for the AI to start hallucinating crimes.

Shotspotter is a thing and it already has been doing that for years (both on its own and on law enforcement request.)

  Shotspotter isn't an AI though is it? I thought it was just triangulation of gunshot locations using microphones and synchronized clocks?

    > Shotspotter isn’t an AI though is it? Shotspotter has been billed as a “system of sensors, software, AI and expert human review that accurately detects, locates and alerts police to gunfire”, and the company behind it (formerly “Shotspotter” was the company name, its recently been renamed “Soundthinking”) has a number of other AI-involved law enforcement products now, as well.

    That's a layman explanation. ShotSpotter is likely a passive radar system. In recent years, you can combine signal processing and supervised learn (neuralnet) to get better direction-of-arrival estimations.

I mean, if we get to the point AI is pointing the finger at someone i hope that a human will double check it at least.

  How long before the AI built in the US figures out its reward function is 80% more likely to be satisfied if it points its digital finger at someone black rather than the most likely subject?

  You seem to have not heard about the way they do things in the US

  Turns out having humans in the loop doesn't help that much: https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/29/tech/nijeer-parks-facial-recognition-police-arrest/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/29/tech/nijeer-parks-facial-reco...

Of all the futurisms in Minority Report I really didn't think this one would show up so early.

Already started. At least two reported cases.
