It's clearly meant to invoke thoughts of Minority Report. There's not a court in the EU that will convict someone on a prediction that they will commit a crime.

It's clearly meant to invoke thoughts of Minority Report. There's not a court in the EU that will convict someone on a prediction that they will commit a crime. Made by computer model or otherwise. So it's stupid as hell to ban it. It's already banned. And if the models are only used to know where to police, then my response is that that we've been using that for centuries now. It's called statistics, and can be as simple as bloody counting how many people lose their wallet in a busy street. Get some cops there, arrest the pick-pockets. That's a good thing, and it doesn't become "evil" just because somebody calls it "AI". But this is just politicians piggy-backing on some popular fear-mongering about some new tech. It's unlikely to go anywhere. It may be rolled out again in a few months or years when these politicians need some attention again.
