First the police, now Big Tech wants to put 'crime-predicting' tech in UK probation services.

A lack of transparency and reliance on flawed data means that institutional racism will be hardwired into the justice system.

All at the expense of dignity and rights.

Tech that claims to 'predict' crime is only as 'objective' as the data it's fed.

With crime data reflecting historic racist and discriminatory practices, we must act now to prevent injustice for over policed communities.

"At their heart, these technologies infringe human rights."

Last week @sianberry tabled an amendment to the UK Crime and Policing Bill that would prohibit the use and deployment of dangerous 'crime-predicting' police tech.

These systems will subject overpoliced communities to more surveillance. More discrimination. More injustice.

Video of Siân Berry (Green MP) speaking in the UK House of Commons about an amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill that "would prohibit the deployment and use of certain forms of “predictive” policing technologies, particularly those that rely on automated decision-making, profiling and artificial intelligence, to assess the likelihood that individuals or groups will commit criminal offences." "Such technologies, however cleverly sold, will always need to be built on existing, flawed police data, or data from other flawed and biased public and private sources. That means that communities that have historically been over-policed will be more likely to be identified as being “at risk” of future criminal behaviour.... At their heart they infringe human rights, including the right to privacy and the right to be presumed innocent."

Sowohl Zensursula und die EU-Kommission als auch die BlackRock-SPD-Koalition möchten riesige Datenzentren errichten, die sie immerhin ehrlicherweise als "KI-Gigafactories" bezeichnen - ein Begriff aus dem musk'schen Tech-Faschismus, von dem (und ähnlichem) sich der europäische Überwachungskapitalismus mit seinem KI-Rausch und der Digitalisierung und Kontrolle von allem und jedem auch inspirieren zu lassen scheint.

Währenddessen wird u.A. von der internationalen Energieagentur prognostiziert, dass sich der Stromverbrauch aufgrund der Datenzentren enorm erhöhen wird. Regierungen und die EU betreiben neoliberales Greenwashing und propagieren individuellen Konsumverzicht und Einschränkungen, die primär die Armen treffen, was sie als Klimaschutz verkaufen wollen. Gleichzeitig treiben sie gigantische Projekte aus Profit und Machtinteressen voran, die mit ihren Energie und Ressourcenverbräuchen das Klima aktiv zerstören und zugleich den repressive Kapitalismus verstärken.

Wie Algorithmen in #Deutschland Straftaten „voraussehen“ sollen #PredictivePolicing

"In dem Bericht „Automating Injustice“ werden ausgewählte Systeme untersucht, die in Deutschland von der Polizei, Strafverfolgungsbehörden und Gefängnissen entwickelt oder eingesetzt werden. Außerdem werden öffentlich zugängliche Informationen über solche Praktiken analysiert, um zu erklären, wie die Systeme funktionieren, welche Daten sie verwenden, weshalb sie zu einer stärkeren Diskriminierung führen können und generell eine Gefahr für die Grundrechte sind......."
