Analytics, mobiles, identities ... and precrime
|
Put
to mix a series of recent readings as a shaker, one can get the most
curious results. Or at least, intriguing, of those who give to think a
good time.
Let's
join pieces: On the one hand, the mobile has become a fundamental piece
without which we do not leave home, loaded with sensors capable of
transmitting our position at all times, and that soon will be the
complete manager of our identity. A fundamental device that already has
its own associated crime, for which it begins to speak of specific
strategies. Soon, your terminal will be the only thing you need as a
means of identification, payment, or to be able to enter and turn on
your car, which will automatically lead you wherever you want to go.
Hundreds of thousands of benefits and applications to drive from your
calendar, your mail or your reminders, to the evolution of your
menstrual period.
To
this scenario, certainly futuristic but we have already seen that ma
non troppo, add the Component Minority Report: An article by France
Presse in the raw story states that policemen in the United States and
some other countries are already adopting software tools based on
predictive analysis based on behavior patterns, with the ultimate goal
of preventing crimes before they take place. No, it's not science
fiction: there are programs like crush, criminal reduction utilizing
statistical history, which are already in use and are considered
responsible for strong reductions in the rates of crime in cities like
Memphis, or private companies like PredPol, who collaborate with the
LAPD. In the face of intuition and the sixth sense of the human police,
machines capable of analyzing more than 200 million pages of structured
and unstructured content, or calculating calculating 200 million of
chess positions per second. Good time to see the 2002 movie again.
On
the other hand, another article, this in the German press that you can
also see quoted in Slashdot and in ActivePolitic, in which it is claimed
that after tragic episodes such as those of Norway or Aurora (CO), not
having account on Facebook or a lack of activity in it can be an element
of behavior that reaches the point of becoming suspicious. No, it's not
that not being on Facebook turns you into a murderer. But we're close.
The rest of the story, if you want, you móntatela. But don't say you thought it was science fiction. Or that you weren't warned.
