Just sick mass surveilling the entire population to find a few small criminals.
Nobody should be able to be searched or tracked unless a warrent is issued.
So much for the land of the free.
Some crimes are unforgivable for cops. Like driving while black.
Wow, just a terrifying level of surveillance! I was imagining that it was an AI powered red light camera system,some way to watch for speeders / lane weavers, or for people blowing past school busses with their stop signs out. This is just constantly watching you day-to-day to see if you’re commuting “suspiciously” and then somehow calling that probable cause. That’s absolutely over the top, glad it’s not near me… yet.
It doesn't, though. And I'm willing to bet if we looked at the false positive and false negative rates, this thing would score much worse than chance. Just like a lot of the cancer detecting "AI" nonsense.
Detecting a car that made 9 trips from NY to MA over 10 months isn't the same as detecting criminal behavior, it could just as likely be a person commuting to a different work office, or a sales person visiting a regional client or two. This shit is stupid on its face. A frequency counter? Really? We're calling that "AI" now? I guess at this point, adding "AI" to a product description is like adding "block chain" four years ago, you just do it so you can increase the sale price and trick dumbasses into buying it.
Setting up a world in which you are forced to drive and then making incredibly draconian surveillance of your performance of that required task is just cruel. Put this effort into providing me travel options that don't come with the risk of major injury, death or jail time.
I think John Oliver had a good bit about the limits and concerns about this kind of technology, and how AI learns pretty quickly to be racist.
I know it doesn't count for much anymore (if it ever did) but is this even constitutional? I'm sure it'll be treated like the other mass surveillance systems and excused as "metadata".
The solution is to be like the Fremen.
WalkDrive without a rhythm to avoid attracting theShai HuludPopos.Soon AI will replace police.
I mean, traffic cameras are a thing...and robot dogs with guns are now a thing. So we're not too far off from a drone performing a no-knock raid for an unpaid traffic ticket.
What would you do if a human cop demanded you kneel on the street with your hands behind your back? Comply or die. You only have the rights you are willing to fight for.
