AI Homework – Predicting Criminal Behavior
The social media sites police use to data mine a criminal’s behavior are Twitter and Facebook as well as virtual gaming in trying to predict criminal behavior (Heaton).
Police are using an optical head mounted display similar to Google Goggles when responding to a call (Heaton). It captures and relays information to a police officer and when first responders arrive on the scene, their reality is augmented with this head mounted display that transports an increased level of situational awareness (Heaton).
The author feels the reason Artificial Intelligence or a computer alone cannot predict criminal behavior because you cannot automate intuition into a computer (Heaton).
