An artificial intelligence can now predict the location and rate of crime across a city a week in advance with up to 90 per cent accuracy. Similar systems have been shown to perpetuate racist bias in policing, and the same could be true in this case, but the researchers who created this AI claim that it can also be used to expose those biases. Ishanu Chattopadhyay at the University of Chicago and his colleagues created an AI model that analysed historical crime data from Chicago, Illinois, from 2014 to the end of 2016, then predicted crime levels for the weeks that followed this training period.

Then it should probably start telling people to duck.

So it takes AI to say that stuff that happens all the time will keep happening?

I can predict it as well.

High probability of drive by shootings every day, increasing on weekends, on the West Side and South Side.

A lot of people can probably predict crime in Chicago. If you knew all the areas where most of the murders, etc is taking place you can probably go to any location in that area and say "within 20 yards of both sides (40 yard total) there will be a murder that will take place within a week..


Seriously, that is pretty cool but information is only as good as what the people who has it does with it.

Can it predict the descriptions of the suspects?

I bet I can with 100% accuracy.

You could give NOPD a list of crimes a month in advance and I bet they'd stop less than 10%.

Ishanu also predicted, and confirmed, that Lake Michigan is full or water, and if you quickly say the mayor’s name three times, she will appear.

Not hard to predict something that happens repeatedly.
