“The concept of an AI that predicts the future in terms of whether somebody is going to commit a crime is fundamentally problematic,” EFF’s Jacob Hoffman-Andrews told FedScoop. https://fedscoop.com/justice-department-artificial-intelligence-ai-surveillance-inventory-predictive-technology-algorithm-bias/

FedScoop

DOJ ramps up AI for legal work, crime predictions, surveillance, inventory shows

The agency’s 31% year-over-year surge in AI use cases includes work with predictive models and surveillance technologies that sparked concern from privacy and technology safety advocates.

@eff

So, the best the slop machines can detect is imaginary thought crimes?

I can't wait to see how my everyday life will be improved beyond measure with this advance in slopistry.

@eff ah yes. The newest torment nexus. Can't wait.

I'll add psycho pass to the list of dystopian pieces of media about this exact issue

@eff I would say "problematic" is a gross understatement of how wrong this is. Thoughtcrime let alone "slopcrime" is not something that should exist in this world
