š® AI USED TO PREDICT CRIME
Remember Minority Report? Something like that has come trueā¦
AI is being trialled to predict when crimes will take place!
How is this possible?
This is the magic of AI! Okay, it isnāt magic. Itās advanced data analysis. Previous crime information is fed into an LLM, which then predicts when crime could take place.
For example, A police department in Richmond, Virginia, used historic data to predict where guns might be fired randomly on New Year's Eve ā and monitored the areas where it was likely to happen.
Random gunfire decreased 47%, thanks to the extra monitoring, the police department said.
But thatās not all - Police forces in the UK have used software from companies including IBM, Microsoft and Palantir both to predict where crimes might occur and whether individuals might commit crimesā¦
Itās coming trueā¦
The bad sideā¦
Unsurprisingly, this could be used for bad thingsā¦
AI systems have in the past been 'fed' with data from highly problematic police forces with a history of racial bias.
In those cases, the AI systems can reinforce historic biases ā and even be used as a form of 'tech-washing' where the technology is used to allow officers to target certain minoritiesā¦
Thatās pretty f*cked!
OUR VIEW:
This is the futureā¦ as messed up as it is. I imagine some laws will follow to disallow AI to be used on individuals in this way.

Doorways into parallel dimensionsā¦
Youāre in a mysterious room with three doors, each with distinct characteristics. When you step through one, you are transported into a parallel dimension, and 3 more doors appear.
Journey through the dimensions and see how they differ from our own!
Images of each dimension will be generated, showing you your incredible surroundings.

š§ HUMAN BRAIN CELLS POWERED BY AI!
Finallyā¦ a new crazy science breakthrough thanks to AI!
Scientists have made an AI from human brain cellsā¦ and it can recognise human speech!
Iām not kidding. This is insane!
How? Why?
Balls of human brain cells linked to a computer have been used to perform a very basic form of speech recognition. The hope is that such systems will use far less energy for AI tasks than silicon chips.
For the speech recognition task, the cells had to learn to recognise the voice of one individual from a set of 240 audio clips of eight people pronouncing Japanese vowel sounds.
The clips were sent to the cells as sequences of signals arranged in spatial patterns.
The organoidsā initial responses had an accuracy of around 30 to 40 per cent, says Guo. After training sessions over two days, their accuracy rose to 70 to 80 per cent.
This means the lump of brain cells hooked up to the computer was getting smarter.
OUR VIEW:
This is absolutely crazy - human brain cells are going to power the future of AI.
