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.

With even more Scientology I'm sure, somehow.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

There's actually a subtle knock on Scientology that I think even Tom Cruise missed in that film. The drug he's addicted to that ruins his life is called 'Clarity.'

There's also an anime, PsycoPass, that has a similar theme.

[-] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I was just about to say that. It's a great watch, even if anime isn't your usual thing as well.

[-] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ehhhhhh

S1 is good. It’s a hard falloff after that.

[-] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

A trend in many anime's unfortunately.

[-] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

100% accurate unfortunately. Some are worse than others (looking at you Sword Art Online).

[-] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, SOA and Death Note were the two other examples in my head (while Death Note season 2 isn't terrible, season 1 is amazing).

Oh god...soon we wont be able to create any more Sci-fi movies out of fear some idiot with too much money and power thinks to use them like "How to..." videos.

[-] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

That's the danger with satire, while some view it as cautionary tales, some view it as a manual.

[-] Soggy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Good news! We made the Torment Nexus from the hit book "Don't Create the Torment Nexus!"

[-] ours@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Then we need more utopian sci-fi.

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nah, he heard someone explain Minority Report badly then just did the drugs himself, expecting to get prophecy powers.

[-] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago
