Artificial intelligence predicts crime a week in advance with 90 per cent accuracy – but can also perpetuate bias, study shows
RoboCop may be getting a 21st Century reboot, as an algorithm has been found to predict future crime a week in advance with 90 per cent accuracy.
The artificial intelligence (AI) tool forecasts crime by learning patterns in time and geographic locations of violent and property crimes.
Data scientists at the University of Chicago trained the computer model using public data from eight major US cities.
