Argentina’s government claims it will help prevent crimes before they occur, but a prominent software engineer is skeptical about the idea.
A specialized task force using artificial intelligence is set to be developed by Argentina to identify and deter future crimes within the nation.
The Ministry of Security of Argentina has announced the creation of the Applied Artificial Intelligence for Security Unit (UIAAS), led by the director of cybercrime and cyber affairs, along with members from the Argentine Federal Police and security forces.
One of the main tasks of the group will be to “use machine learning algorithms to analyze historical crime data to predict future crimes and help prevent them,” according to a recent statement by the Ministry of Security of Argentina.
