ORG called for unjust 'crime-predicting' tech to be banned from UK policing 🚨

Police tech doesn’t predict crime. It predicts policing. Based on biased data, it brings more of the same – racist policing and poverty punishment.

Why ‘Predictive’ Policing Must be Banned

The UK Government is trying to use algorithms to predict which people are most likely to become killers using sensetive personal data of hundreds of thousands of people.

Ban ‘Crime Predicting’ Police Tech

The Lie  AI and police tech don’t predict crime - they predict policing. These technologies are built on existing, flawed, police data. So communities who have historically been over policed are more likely to be identified as at ‘risk’ of future criminal behaviour.

@openrightsgroup I've seen some (reportedly) very effective "crime-predicting tech".
