The article by Lotte Debrauwer illustrates well the main social and ethical issues of predictive policing that I have been addressing in my publications for 10 years now. There is no convincing scientific evidence it works, it’s discriminatory and is the result of technological fix and optimism.
Some quotes in the newspaper @demorgen.be today in which I say amongst others that predictive policing projects are based on a misguided ambition. “The starting point is a technology that people are eager to use, not a problem that the police need to solve.” www.demorgen.be/tech-ai/deze...
