Such systems mine a vast array of information — texts, calls, payments, flights, video, DNA swabs, mail deliveries, the internet, even water & power use — to unearth individuals deemed suspicious & predict their behavior. But they also allow Chinese #police to threaten friends & family & preemptively detain people for crimes they have not even committed.

Critically, American #surveillance #technologies allowed a brutal mass #detention campaign in the far west region of #Xinjiang — targeting, tracking & grading virtually the entire native #Uyghur population to forcibly assimilate & subdue them.

#US #tech companies did this by bringing “#PredictivePolicing” to #China#technology that sucks in & analyzes data to prevent crime, protests, or terror attacks before they happen.

Across #China, tens of thousands of people tagged as troublemakers…are trapped in a #digital cage, barred from leaving their province & sometimes even their homes by the world’s largest digital #surveillance apparatus. Most of this #technology came from companies in a country that has long claimed to support freedoms worldwide: the #UnitedStates.

„Watching you – Die Welt von Palantir und Alex Karp“ (2024)

Als hätte „Minority Report“ in deutschen Amtsstuben das Denken ersetzt. Der Dokumentarfilm von Klaus Stern stellt den Menschen vor, der diese Vision verkauft – und mit ihr eine technoide Version der Totalüberwachung salonfähig macht. Dass der Film dabei selbst ein Teil dieser Normalisierung wird, ist die bittere Pointe. Er zeigt, was er nicht kritisiert. Das ist sein größtes Problem.

First the police, now Big Tech wants to put 'crime-predicting' tech in UK probation services.

A lack of transparency and reliance on flawed data means that institutional racism will be hardwired into the justice system.

All at the expense of dignity and rights.

"Predictive policing technologies infringe human rights “at their heart” and should be prohibited in the UK, argues Green MP Siân Berry, after tabling an amendment to the government’s forthcoming Crime and Policing Bill.

Speaking in the House of Commons during the report stage of the bill, Berry highlighted the dangers of using predictive policing technologies to assess the likelihood of individuals or groups committing criminal offences in the future.

“Such technologies, however cleverly sold, will always need to be built on existing, flawed police data, or data from other flawed and biased public and private sources,” she said. “That means that communities that have historically been over-policed will be more likely to be identified as being ‘at risk’ of future criminal behaviour.”"

#KI bei der #Polizei - #Vera übernehmen Sie! Hier könnte gleich ein Mord geschehen!

Die bayerische #Polizei möchte mithilfe einer Software der US-Firma #Palantir Verbrechen verhindern, bevor sie verübt werden. Ist nun jeder verdächtig? 

'"Verfahrensübergreifende Recherche- und Analyseplattform", so heißt die Software, um die es hier gehen soll. VeRA, eine Abkürzung, die Datenschützern Zornestränen in die Augen treibt. Ein Werkzeug sei das, von dem die Stasi nur hätte träumen können, sagen sie. Bayern nutzt es seit rund neun Monaten.

Kriminalbeamte wollen mit der Software "Predictive Policing" betreiben, also vorhersagebasierte Polizeiarbeit.'

"At their heart, these technologies infringe human rights."

Last week @sianberry tabled an amendment to the UK Crime and Policing Bill that would prohibit the use and deployment of dangerous 'crime-predicting' police tech.

These systems will subject overpoliced communities to more surveillance. More discrimination. More injustice.

Oops! AI did it again... you're not that innocent.

Nectar, a 'crime-predicting' system developed with #Palantir, could be rolled out nationally after a pilot with Bedfordshire police (UK).

Data such as race, sex life, trade union membership, philosophical beliefs and health are used to 'predict' criminality so people can be targeted for #surveillance.

‘Predictive’ policing tools in France are flawed, opaque, and dangerous.

A new report from @LaQuadrature, now available in English as part of a Statewatch-coordinated project, lays out the risks in detail.

The report finds that these systems reinforce discrimination, evade accountability, and threaten fundamental rights. La Quadrature is calling for a full ban—and we support them.

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......."
