Wie Algorithmen in #Deutschland Straftaten „voraussehen“ sollen #PredictivePolicing

"In dem Bericht „Automating Injustice“ werden ausgewählte Systeme untersucht, die in Deutschland von der Polizei, Strafverfolgungsbehörden und Gefängnissen entwickelt oder eingesetzt werden. Außerdem werden öffentlich zugängliche Informationen über solche Praktiken analysiert, um zu erklären, wie die Systeme funktionieren, welche Daten sie verwenden, weshalb sie zu einer stärkeren Diskriminierung führen können und generell eine Gefahr für die Grundrechte sind......."

AlgorithmWatchAutomatisierte Polizeiarbeit: Wie Algorithmen in Deutschland Straftaten „voraussehen“ sollen - AlgorithmWatchDie Polizei, Strafverfolgungsbehörden und Justizvollzugsanstalten in Deutschland versuchen immer stärker, Straftaten digital „vorherzusagen“ und zu „verhindern“. Der Bericht „Automating Injustice“ gibt einen Überblick über solche algorithmischen Systeme, die in Deutschland entwickelt und eingesetzt werden.

"The UK government is developing a “murder prediction” programme which it hopes can use personal data of those known to the authorities to identify the people most likely to become killers.

Researchers are alleged to be using algorithms to analyse the information of thousands of people, including victims of crime, as they try to identify those at greatest risk of committing serious violent offences.

The scheme was originally called the “homicide prediction project”, but its name has been changed to “sharing data to improve risk assessment”. The Ministry of Justice hopes the project will help boost public safety but campaigners have called it “chilling and dystopian”."

The Guardian · UK creating ‘murder prediction’ tool to identify people most likely to killBy Vikram Dodd

Amnesty's new report shows that the police are supercharging racism through predictive policing.

At least 33 UK police forces have used prediction or profiling tools.

“These systems are developed and operated using data from policing and the criminal legal system. That data reflects the structural and institutional racism and discrimination in policing and the criminal legal system.”

The Guardian · UK use of predictive policing is racist and should be banned, says AmnestyBy Vikram Dodd

"For years, the Pasco Sheriff ran an unconstitutional program, harassing kids and their parents because a glorified Excel spreadsheet predicted they would commit future crimes,” said IJ Senior Attorney Rob Johnson, “Today the Sheriff acknowledged that dystopian program violated the #Constitution and agreed never to bring it back.” #predictivepolicing ij.org/press-release/case-clos

Daily Inspiration: "It's the types of crime that we can't yet imagine that we should be worried about!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Later today, I'll be doing a talk for the senior leadership team of the RCMP - that's the Royal Canadian Mounted Police - on the future impact of AI. I'll have a few hundred police and civilian officials in the room and will take a pretty broad but intense look into the future. I'll be covering both the opportunity for the use of AI for crimefighting and public safety responsibilities, but will also take a look at the fact that the acceleration of AI leads to an accelerated risk of unknown crimes yet to be committed based on technologies that don’t yet exist!

Another way to put a spin on this? It’s the risk of unknown crimes yet to be committed based on technologies that don’t yet exist! That’s the future of policing!

(And yes, I've had a little fun with AI in this post. Look carefully, and that's me in uniform!)

The story of AI in policing is a complex one, involving many new opportunities and new skills to battle comprehensive new criminal risks - and one that is wrapped up in a lot of controversy when it comes to privacy and constitutional rights. And there is no doubt that these issues are going to become even more complex as things speed up.

(1/3)

Litigation is a huge issue in the #US. Penalties often are astronomical seen from an international perspective. Also, malfeasance by police officers including #RacialProfiling and l, IMO, #PredictivePolicing seem to be much more frequent, maybe just more reported.

However, my bottom line is that
a) #SystemicRacism will never be overcome w/o abolishing #LEOBR|s. Police officers are nothing but citizens in uniform. They're no animals more...
