Data scientist here; there simply are not enough murders to model this, so they will need to use proxies for “likely” murderers (like any sort of violent crime). That means the model will very strongly target people who are over-policed (minorities) and those more likely to actually get caught and charged for things, and thus be in the training data set (poor people). It will also fail spectacularly for this purpose because even a highly accurate model will produce almost 100% false positives -again, because actual murders are so vanishingly rare. The math just doesn’t work.

I give it two seconds to turn into racism machine

We are living the plot from PsychoPass

Is this turning into minority report in real life?

What can go wrong?

Healthcare CEOs at the top of the list.

Welcome to our over-securitized late stage capitalist hellscape. All so companies can push out these bogus 'tools' and eat more of the state budget and profit like the crony capitalists they are. Not the first time. First as a tragedy, second as a farce.

They should make three, and they all have to agree, but if only one disagrees then maybe they can ignore it, call it the "minority account" or something like that.

Major black mirror vibes

Yay, concentration camps. My list of countries to live in is consistently getting smaller.

So are they going to enforce ICC warrants?

I hope many of their politicians get placed high on the list.

I watch enough true crime to know that anyone is capable of murder

NBA Youngboy fans 😯

😂

Oh, I've seen this one. where's scientology Tom in this episode?

Guilty until proven innocent.

Let me guess: Palantir

Will this drive the first wrongfully accused person to suicide or will it just somehow, magically, target all brown and black people? Stay tuned to see how much taxpayer money gets sunk into this tool.

Prediction: this gets used to surveil dissidents and minorities disproportionately.

apparently Uk govt has never played watch dogs legion, nor seen Equilibrium (C Bale movie), nor Minority Report, nor Richard III, nor read Brave New World, nor the billion other movies, novels, games, poems, songs, Banksy art, social videos, cave paintings, etc that specifically warned UK not to (re)become the villain (over and over again)

it's like the 2nd most popular culture topic.... after "love" or something

but noooo, just had to be edgelordsandladies.gov.uk

.........

Psycho Pass called, you missed its point

Will the British cabinet be automatically included on the list?

There's no possible way this could go badly.
