Crime

One of the concerns about AI is the development of predictive analytics. This is using the collection of large amounts of data about a person to suggest that this person may commit a criminal act. This may be the answer to the questions that always come up after a mass shooting when the social media sites show the shooter was predicting his behavior. The problem is can you be arrested for something you might do. While this sounds silly there is precedence for such acts. In MN convicted sex offenders are sent to another facility after they complete their sentence on the basis of they will commit another sex crime if they are let out. It would be more than a little disconcerting if the sheriff came to your door with an arrest warrant because the computer said you might commit a crime.
