Critics contend that predictive policing algorithms need to be dismantled due to biased training data, even as advocates say that algorithms can be made fair
and things may be getting worse. In the wake of the protests after the killing of George Floyd, some police departments are doubling down on their use of predictive tools. https://www.technologyreview.com/ ... @techreview : Predictive policing algorithms aren't objective; they may simply be better at hiding racism. Some researchers are investigating if we can fix them. But until there's a clear way to make these tools beneficial rather than harmful, we should dismantle them. https://www.technologyreview.com/ ...
Today's a great day to read @strwbilly's definitive look at predictive-policing algorithms. It synthesizes the work being done by activists, policy experts & AI researchers, and concludes that we cannot continue to use these algorithms as they exist now. https://www.technologyrev…
“Increasing evidence suggests that human prejudices have been baked into these tools because the machine-learning models are trained on biased police data. Far from avoiding racism, they may simply be better at hiding it.” https://www.technologyreview.com/ ...
Predictive policing algorithms have always perpetuated systemic racism—and things may be getting worse. In the wake of the protests after the killing of George Floyd, some police departments are doubling down on their use of predictive tools. https://www.technologyreview.com/ ...
