Speaking at an Oracle monetary analysts assembly, Oracle founder Larry Ellison stated he expects AI to sooner or later energy huge legislation enforcement surveillance networks.
“We’re going to have supervision,” he stated. “Every police officer goes to be supervised always, and if there’s an issue, AI will report that downside and report it to the suitable individual. Citizens might be on their greatest conduct as a result of we’re always recording and reporting every thing that’s happening.”
Ellison believes that steady surveillance, pushed by AI, might enormously scale back crime. But the proof doesn’t essentially assist his assertion.
As the Washington Post notes, police knowledge within the U.S. is traditionally biased, and feeding it into an AI mannequin may lead it to recommend extra prison exercise is in these areas, creating racially and socioeconomically biased suggestions loops.
In 2019, the LAPD suspended its crime prediction program after an audit confirmed it resulted in subjecting Black and Latino individuals to extra surveillance.
