Police in the UK want to predict serious violent crime using artificial intelligence, New Scientist can reveal. The idea is that individuals flagged by the system will be offered interventions, such as counselling, to avert potential criminal behaviour.

 

However, one of the world’s leading data science institutes has expressed serious concerns about the project after seeing a redacted version of the proposals.
