President Javier Milei creates security unit as some say certain groups may be overly scrutinized by the technology
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Literally Minority Report.
And that one Futurama episode
Also Marvel's Civil War 2
With even more Scientology I'm sure, somehow.
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.'
Missed that one, good catch!
I thought it was neuroin
There's also an anime, PsycoPass, that has a similar theme.
I was just about to say that. It's a great watch, even if anime isn't your usual thing as well.
Ehhhhhh
S1 is good. It’s a hard falloff after that.
A trend in many anime's unfortunately.
100% accurate unfortunately. Some are worse than others (looking at you Sword Art Online).
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.
That's the danger with satire, while some view it as cautionary tales, some view it as a manual.
Good news! We made the Torment Nexus from the hit book "Don't Create the Torment Nexus!"
Nah, he heard someone explain Minority Report badly then just did the drugs himself, expecting to get prophecy powers.
Except the precogs are just a magic 8 ball.
