Cities are increasingly using surveillance software running on supercomputers to monitor activity and develop a prediction as to what an individual, groups, or entire populations may be up to. For years TV shows and movies have shown law enforcement agencies using high-tech computers to predict crime or track down criminals. Now it seems this is no longer fiction or fantasy.
In Philadelphia, courts are using software to predict future behavior of current offenders in order to determine an appropriate amount of jail time. In many other cities such as San Francisco, Houston, and New York, software is in use to use artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor and learn what activities may signal a threat. These AI systems would potentially have the ability to shut dow n other systems, such as a subway, without human intervention. On an even larger scale,supercomputers are being tested to predict the behavior of entire populations.
