Police Built an AI To Predict Violent Crime. It Was Seriously Flawed
A Home Office-funded project that used artificial intelligence to predict gun and knife crime was found to be wildly inaccurate. “Basing our arguments on inaccuracy is problematic because the tech deficiencies are solvable through time.
