  1. Tech that supposedly 'predicts' crime is using sensitive personal data of hundreds of thousands of people without transparency.

    It amplifies biases, as it's fed on data that reflects historic discriminatory police practices. And it undermines the crucial right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

    That's why we're calling for a BAN on its use in the UK.

  2. UK police forces are increasingly using so-called 'predictive' tech.

    Wired's investigation reveals how algorithms used by Avon and Somerset Police scored people by their 'risk' of offending from multiple databases of sensitive information.

    These models have been plagued with inaccuracy and 'poor predictive performance'.

  5. Apparently we reached the state of #Thoughtcrime punishment, it's called #precrime and on virustotal. Microsoft and Sophos just "blocked" (aka content filter says it's porn... whuat?) a friend's website because the #AI was suspicious of his AI website probably because on #Virustotal PreCrime is flagging it as will-be-malicious-in-the-future.

    I want my Internet back.

  7. I’m loathed to post this as it just seems like someone saying ridiculous things to get coverage. But Musk now talks about his robots following offenders around to stop them re-offending. Like a prison guard for the naughty humans. newsweek.com/elon-musk-tesla-r #musk #robotuprising #PreCrime
