Well, every model has its errors, and intrusive criminal "prevention" is self-fulfilling.

Just imagine, everyday 6AM an officer come at your door to check your apartment "to prevent" your crimes, suddenly every random guy in the street looks suspicious and spying on you, then some officers just randomly walks by your workplace, police stop you everytime you travel... This would eventually lead to an insult to the mafia guy and then boom you have already commited contumacy and the model was right! You are a criminal and you should be punished!

It’s a little like a machine controlled ‘stop and frisk’.

But would I have done it if the police weren’t following me? What if the computer is identifying at risk paranoid schizophrenics likely to be pushed over the edge by noticeable increases in their personal surveillance?

Frankly that seems more plausible than telling the future

I don’t make any claim at all for its capability. But if you load a dataset into some sort of ML algorithm right now, with the data coming from current policing statistics, you are going to be perpetuating some pretty dark stuff. Police target various groups and minorities.

"The data is racist" will be a common refrain in this AI revolution.

you just described the minority experience in many parts of US

Yeah, but if you say "imagine you are black in Alabama" people would just tell you to stick to the subject.
