Argentina will use AI to ‘predict future crimes’ but experts worry for citizens’ rights

Argentina’s security forces have announced plans to use artificial intelligence to “predict future crimes” in a move experts have warned could threaten citizens’ rights.

The country’s far-right president Javier Milei this week created the Artificial Intelligence Applied to Security Unit, which the legislation says will use “machine-learning algorithms to analyse historical crime data to predict future crimes”. It is also expected to deploy facial recognition software to identify “wanted persons”, patrol social media, and analyse real-time security camera footage to detect suspicious activities.

While the ministry of security has said the new unit will help to “detect potential threats, identify movements of criminal groups or anticipate disturbances”, the Minority Report-esque resolution has sent alarm bells ringing among human rights organisations.

Milei after watching Minority Report: Caramba ! Good idea!

What could possibli go wrong?

Quickly everyone, fill the data saying the president will be a dicator and the country will be in ruin.

This sounds too surveillancey for the so self proclaimed libertarian and too much of a flamboyant economic investment for the guy that said to cut down all unnecessary costs

It’s also the entire plot of Person of Interest

Yeah, but Person of Interest turns it around (at least for quite some time) and makes it like the precrime thing is a good idea. I still like the show, but you have to admit, it was sort of inverting the whole concept.

I think the story of Watch_Dogs is even closer to this.

Milei is probably who they’re talking about

Tech guy here.

This is a tech-flavored smokescreen to avoid responsibility for misapplied law enforcement.

By innate definition, everyone has the potential for criminality, especially those applying and enforcing the law; as a matter of fact, not even the ai is above the law unless that’s somehow changing. We need a lot of things on Earth first, like an IoT consortium for example, but an ai bill of rights in the US or EU should hopefully set a precedent for the rest of the world.

Deestan ,

The AI is a pile of applied stastistic models. The humans in charge of training it, testing it and acting on its input have full control and responsibility for anything that comes out of it. Personifying or otherwise separating an AI system from being the will of its controllers is dangerous as it erodes responsibility.

Racist cops have used “I go where the crime is” as an exuse to basically hunt minorities for sport. Do not allow them to say “the AI model said this was efficient” and pretend it is not their own full and knowing bias directing them.

That’s not even the problem here… AI, big data, a consultant - it’s all just an excuse to point to when they do what they wanted to do anyways, profile “criminals” and harass them

The Guardian is “mixed” and yet Times of Israel is “high” for factual reporting. MBFC is trash.

naught ,

I swear yesterday it said The Guardian was “very high” or maybe I just was 🤔

mke ,

Disappointing. Any reason to believe this might be a mistake or an outlier? I was just starting to seriously consider adding mbfc to the usual set of tools I depend on online.

OccamsTeapot ,

I don’t have evidence of this but I believe the owner/operator of the site is pro Israel and this bleeds through into the ratings, which are not produced in any objective or repeatable fashion. It says Times of Israel has not failed any fact checks, but it clearly doesn’t investigate this in a systematic way. I personally reported one particularly egregious and obviously false headline some months back and never heard anything.

It lists the fact checks the Guardian failed (totally fair), but overall I would say most similar websites rank them highly for factual content and for good reason.

For stuff unrelated to Israel I think MBFC is pretty solid if a little unclear and opaque in it’s approach.
