Here’s the algorithm:
White male? Low risk to reoffend!
Everyone else? Maximum risk of repeat violent crimes!
Depends on who is responsible for the training input data. Elon’s Grock Mecha-Hitler? Very likely it would do exactly as you suggest.
Does no one there remember Minority Report?
It’s always the question what is optimized for. We had the public discourse in the west destroyed by so called algorithms (it was billionaires hiding behind algorithms). They just did not have the same incentives as the rest of humanity.
Same here, high recidivicism could be optimal for shareholder value and such.
Can they use this on politicians even if they have not been convicted yet?
They will commit future crimes when an opportunity presents itself.
Done and done, no AI tokens needed. Thank you
That’s it! I’m gonna buy some of that american prison stock on questrade and start ratting out my neighbours for fun and profit! /s
These tech bros , corrupt politicians, CEOs and shareholders need to be rounded up and thrown in these prisons because they never stop committing crimes
As a prisoner I would do everything I could to become absolutely unpredictable.
from walking backwards in the lot, to doing cartwheels in my cell.
“This dude is unpredictable… dont let him out”
Which would have you right at the top of the watchlist. Gotta keep an eye on this guy; you never know what he’s gonna do.
Automated Racist Hetero Fascism fucking sucks.
Don’t be cisphobic, please.
People downvote you. Absolutely amazing how people are against the most basic things and instead make the exact same anti-other-group shit.
So I’m hetero and, by American measure, of a not hated racial background. But suppose I’ve liked some absolutely amazing girls who are, unfortunately, not hetero (or I’m not cool enough to transcend that barrier), and the guy who’ve introduced me to the concept of aerodynamics (when I was a kid) using frisbees as example was an African student, but I have some ideas that might be called fascist here, so can we please be more nuanced with what sucks?
I mean, OK, I’m not automated, but how do you know.
but I have some ideas that might be called fascist here
That’s a hell of a thing to just gloss over when asking for more nuance, especially these days.
IRL what of my ideas can be called fascist is usually expressed by leftists, mostly anarchists. Systems of laws and influences with time become too complex for a society to not be constrained with them, and also dominated by negative selection of authority figures, which means you need violence to allow them to evolve further. I don’t mean mass executions and dictatorships, just things like copyright and patents being bad, but not always, things like freedom of speech being good, but not always, and in general no absolutes being true.
At the same time anarchist and leftist arguments don’t seem to explain those parts and seem to keep them as pure emotion, while fascism has explanations (by its own rules, of course).
It “proves” itself too. Your algo puts them in solitary, and they don’t commit any crimes. Proof it works! /s
There’s a dystopian term for that already. It’s called PreCrime.

“We put this into the magic computer box so that we can optimize
racismplacement of incarcerated individuals.”
If there was a way to change some parameters so the AI does not reinforce racist biases in society.
We tried nothing and all out of options. “The AI said so”
Really? Did you use it on Mango Mussolini?
Wasn’t there a good short story about this turned into a worse movie?
There’s also an anime with a rather similar premise
Psycho Pass?
No that was a movie where they would arrest innocent people before they committed crimes. Fictional situation that’s completely different. What they are doing here is probably just for ‘good to know’ type of information… Right?
