Meet AISight - The "Pre-Crime"-Detecting Software Being Installed On Global CCTVs
Submitted by Mike Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
If you thought that CCTV cameras tracking your every move in public was bad enough, you’re going to just love AISight (pronounced “eyesight” of course). The invention of a Houston, Texas based company called BRS Labs (which stands for Behavioral Recognition Systems) is headed by former secret service special agent John Frazzini, and this Orwellian surveillance platform brings artificial intelligence to all of those creepy cameras that have been installed everywhere around you.
Apparently, this system is currently being installed in Boston, and has already been implemented in Chicago and Washington. In the event you live in these cities, I bet you’ve never heard of AISight, and more importantly, I bet there’s been little to no public debate.
The most disturbing part about this platform is that this artificial intelligence defines what is “normal” behavior and anything that falls outside of that narrow band can be flagged for “pre crime” potential. Ultimately, if these things are allowed to proliferate, it will condition humans to behave like zombie automatons fearful that anything interesting or creative might be viewed as criminal.
The NYPD recently engaged in such behavior when it arrested a street artist unlawfully. Now imagine if a computer could do the work the work without human involvement.
The entire sad incident was caught on video. See below:
The “War on Street Artists” – Puppeteer Unlawfully Arrested and Harassed in NYC Subway
For more details on AISight, we turn to ITProPortal:
Imagine a major city completely covered by a video surveillance system designed to monitor the every move of its citizens. Now imagine that the system is run by a fast-learning machine intelligence, that’s designed to spot crimes before they even happen. No, this isn’t the dystopian dream of a cyber-punk science fiction author, or the writers of TV show “Person of Interest”. This is Boston, on the US East Coast, and it could soon be many more cities around the world.
Behavioral Recognition Systems, Inc. (BRS Labs) is a software development company based out of a nondescript office block in Houston Texas, with the motto: “New World. New security.”
BRS Labs’ AISight is different because it doesn’t rely on a human programmer to tell it what behaviour is suspicious. It learns that all by itself.
The system enables a machine to monitor is environment, and build up a detailed profile of what can be considered “normal” behaviour. The AI can then determine what kind of behavior is abnormal, without human pre-programing.
Just what the world needs.
Oh, but wait, it gets even better…
What’s more, AISight permanently learns and registers when changes in normal behavior occur, so no ongoing programing is required from human operators. In order to do this, it employs a technology known as “artificial neural networks”, which mimics the function of the human brain.
What’s more, BRS Labs’ system is extremely easy to implement even across huge, disparate networks of outdated camera equipment. The company claims that it needs maximum of only a few days for the complete hardware and software installation.
So fast the public won’t have a chance for public debate!
After that, the system sets about “autonomously building an ever-changing knowledge base of activity seen through every camera on your video network.”
The software is already in place in other cities around the United States, such as Chicago and Washington.
“Our system will figure out things you never thought of looking for,” said Wesley Cobb, BRS’ chief science officer. “You never thought to look for a car driving backwards up the entrance of a parking garage, for example. Our system will find that and alert on it, because it’s different from what it usually sees. It’s taught itself what to look for.”
How about laugher, is that banned yet? How about thinking?
The inevitable security concerns have already been raised. While BRS claims to be “concerned about the privacy rights of individuals everywhere,” it’s not hard to imagine a future where our every move is assessed, quantified and judged by ever-smarter generations of artificial intelligence.
There’s one security camera for every 11 people in the UK, and it has been reported that the average British citizen is recorded on camera over 300 times every day.
Have fun serfs.
Now check out the promotional video. How completely creepy is the voice on it…

Yea, the system is working so great in Chicago...
Meanwhile in Ga, a more effective way to deal with crime and criminals....
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/04/23/georgia-gun-law/804...
Even the USA today is slanting further left than it has always been, but the PRO GUN legislation in GA is just killing the gun control crime syndicate.
But if I've done nothing wrong, I've got nothing to worry about. Right?
Mr. Alethian, did you or did you not inquire about culpability on a leading right-wing extremist blog called ZeroHedge.com?
Imagine if every citizen wore a hat, sunglasses and/or ski mask ... how that would fuck with the "artificial intelligence" ... pretty soon the Presidebt would sign an executive order banning hats
Many countries already have bans on wearing masks. I wonder how long before excessive makeup is banned?
Pretty sure going Braveheart on their asses is going to fuck up facial recognition for a while.
camera meet wasp spray... problem solved.
Speaking of gun control (I live at the moment in a castrated country), and the transhumanists say machines are immortal, but I wonder what a .22lr would do to one of these cameras when the time comes.
Too bad they didn't have this tech in 2008 while TBTJ robbed America blind, especially considering it learns behavior. Would've put an end to the financial madness altogether.
Oh, it's a camera system with xbox kinect software installed? Dang. Well, at least it's cheap...right?
Nope, this would not affect the criminal behaviour of sociopaths and psychopaths.
Only human beings. Bankers, Pelosi, Reid, and other are not human beings, they are psychopaths with no human traits whatsoever, so they would not have been caught by this new technology.
Edit: The EYE-BLIGHT promotion sounds like it's straight out of Omni Consumer Products...

"Too bad they didn't have this tech in 2008..."
(What is ypur definition of) They?
Do you believe movies "project" new techs, or show them?
Minority Report came out 2002 (I had that strange feeling about the tech then)...AISight, they re-name it to?
Bros, lots of thingy to ponder...
And then it will soon come to a neighbourhood near you. Live.
Yes, the worst thing to ponder is that Tom Cruise is 12 years older now, which makes me feel hella older.
Shit, let me un-ponder that...
Sounds like another boondoggle created by someone who thought it would be cool to spend millions of dollars on his buddy in some video software business...
just convert to Islam and wear a burka..... it's all about "religion" U No.
ID that.
LOL Good one. Show some respect for the fascist religion of Bits and Pieces. Burka that? :-)
Fear not - PC Progressive Marxists will save us. Smile for the camera.
Interesting comment macholatte, because I suspect the cameras would flip out if they couldn't see anything but a black-robed figure.
<Minority Report>
And he looks 12 years younger. That fucking wierdo has truly found the fountain of youth.
Was a joke jeeez
Lot more alarming than installing kinect cameras in cities:

Too bad we don't have these cameras in the halls of Congress, The White House, and every other fricking office we own, finance, and have no say in how our business is conducted.
That's where they should be legally placed.
Down with Skynet. Someday man will learn to hate cameras and enjoy real fucking thigs.

I am amazed at the silence about capabilities. I dont dare be the first to cross that line, or even cross it ever..... Man has mighty powers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w25xghugIdg
Come on, let's get real here. The thing is an empty black box that is connected to a lawyer who takes you to court and sez, "This man is a criminal because this black box told me so." And by "court", I mean he just sez it on TV.
Oh, sorry. The black box does have a computer inside it. When it figures you have enough stuff worth stealing and not enough debt, then it alerts the "authorities".
"This man did not stress out when interest rates went up. He must be a criminal."
Detects odd behaviour?
"This man went to a pub but did not get drunk. He must be a terrorist!"
"This man claims to be a banker but did not order a hooker with blow all over her boobies. He must be a fraud."
Just wear a Jon Corzine mask and do whatever the hell you like.
To the average yob, a super-duper-predictive-computer is indistinguishable from a medieval witch hunt.
We'll never see the code. 99% of the population wouldn't understand the code even if they did see it. No-one will really know what it is doing or whether or not it is working as advertised.
Many security cameras are covered by other cameras, so your act of destroying one will likely be recorded by others and you will be tracked down by the Network.
If people take to wearing burkas to hide their identity then the authorities will take steps. Most countries (including the US) have laws against wearing masks. Won't be long before burka wearers, ski mask wearers and motorbike helmet wearers will have to carry a RFID chip embedded government issued ID in public (my passport has one). Go out in public with your face covered over and no RFID chip will get you picked up by the cameras and the police notified to detain you.
Concentrated power assumes Metastatic Caretaker Envy (my social diagnostic invention for the process of pathological power consolidation - mostly based upon power-loss paranoia). A lot of P's, I know, but ZH readers should be used to alliteration. The symptoms, language and signs of an MCE diagnosis: "doing God's work...", "defending freedom", " "with us, against us", the evolving meaning of terrorist, etc. Consolidated power will assume its right to seek out whatever threatens it in its delusional, god-like manner. But we have - at the root of the master/slave relationship - the capriciously-applied salve of mercy. They buy our compliance with increasingly awful iterations of the human condition: first, assurance of their protection and goodwill; second, assurance that you will not be "processed," or some other form of merciful rehabilitation; and third, adulation, where you must praise the dear leader, ecstatically, at all times and in all places, just to survive the destruction of full-blown Metastatic Caretaker Envy. It is the sliding scale of survival that Orwell and Huxley have illuminated for us, for us to figure out what we want to do about our servitude.
So, is it any wonder that this is where our technology or innovation goes? It is a sick society that is using the technology of that society to subjugate itself. The revelations and consequences of our times will continue to confound the uninformed and ill-prepared.
There are three ways to defeat ANY camera/lens system: 1. Highly polished mirror placed in front of the lense, 2. A laser directed at the lense, 3. 12 gauge deer slug directed at camera. Take your pick.
Recognition technology will only be required until we are forcibly chipped to qualify for healthcare. Don't doubt me on this.

Bullish Anonymist masks. Wait, it would learn that all who wear them are evil. Never mind, I will use my average joe mask.
zerohedge has no "wings", only a pointy tail.
AmericaAgainNow.com make it happen
Is that a Buffet place?
clogg the system with so much pre crime behavior that it is meaningless.
Don't bother...Have you seen all the weirdos that roam cities these days? I saw a homeless guy with Levi's wrapped around his head with the legs shredded so he could whip them around like hair. Let the AI chew on that for a while
LOL, that must have been funny.
When I was a teenager, I saw a guy in front of the K-Mart in Raton, NM playing a guitar. He had a ZZ Top beard and was wearing a wedding dress. And this is in a town where it is illegal to ride your horse down the street while wearing a kimono. Or it is illegal for a woman to do it. Or some shit. I know there is some shit that is illegal in Raton that involves horses, streets and kimonos.
The Ministry of Funny Walks would put this stuff into overload pretty fast.
Sorry to correct you, but it is NEVER about crime or whatever. It is always about contracts, money, and control, power.
Since most Libs live in our urban cores...it makes sense that Obama's Brownshirts feel the need to keep an eye on them.
Now if we could only figure out how to keep them in the urban core...to keep them from fleeing the nightmare of their own making and spreading like the metastazing Blue State cancer they create when their socialist utopianism unravels into crime and bankruptcy. Got Detriot? Shitcago is well on its way.
The Blue State cancer is real but curable for the rest of us - keep them in the cities...under the watchful eye of Obama's Brownshirts. Before they spread. They are the disease...and are largely incurable.
Really simple solution to crime.
1) Police can't protect you.
2) Police need to solve crime.
3) Let the residents see through the cameras!
4) ....
5) Peace
should be installed around the block in Washington D.C.
LOL Better yet, in the Well of the House and Senate.
Trillion stolen there every year...increasingly spend on imprisoning the tax-sheeples. Hey - why not...the USG is insolvent and everyone paying attention knows it...so are many blue state cities and most blue states so sure...waste more money borrowed from China err, Belgium, to keep the tax prisoners in line and paying for their own imprisonment.
Makes sense...Right?
Another way to look at it...
The Blue State Cancer needs to be supervised and to be contained...because it spreads...just ask NJ, or NH, or WA, AZ or Texas...as it loads up on blue state nitwits fleeing CA's bankruptcy in the making...bred to spread their socialist utopian fantasies and fan out across the land.
Holy Flock... of sheep!
"You've been Teriminated" ..wait, wrong movie.. thats next years conspiracy theo.....fact
Whats the point of having pre-crime measures when the cops dont even come?
Building our own prison, one brick at a time.
This actually a big security liability that can be exploited easily...
Is this why the pentagon only released 5 frames of the "plane" hitting it?
because the missile would be visible if they showed the real footage.
I hear those security cameras are low res and you coudn't tell the difference between a Boeing jetliner and a cruise missile anyway.
the holes in the walls of the pentagon
and the debris field could sure tell
the difference.
Pfft! We had precogs running the country for years. Gut feeling's where it's at! No fancy tech. FBI and CIA are busy preventing terrorists acts that would've been happenning daily if it weren't for their fine work. President's been staying on top of unemployment saving and creating jobs. Bankers have been liberating us from the horrors of financial armageddon due to their spot-on predictive analysis of every economic trend. Mr. Gore's been keeping us well informed of the climate horrors 100's of years in advance.
We've got an A-Team of visionaries and prophets guding us every step of the way.
Stopping criminals long before they even think about committing crimes? Gitmo is full of them! Our prisons are cracking at seams with crooks who would otherwise most definitely be doing something evil, if not now then real soon! What we need is more prisons and the rest is already well taken care of.
Anyone else notice that Fat Albert has been distancing himself lately from the "idea" of geoengineering, known to us proles as chemtrails. Like spraying 20 million tons a year of aluminum, barium, and strontium oxide nanoparticles in the world's stratosphere every year along with other assorted very nasty shit. He is probably afraid that he will be strung up when the truth comes out about what they have been doing since 1998.

So that was a U.S. crew on their tail in a formation? I don't see anything particularly unusual about this. Vapor is where vapor is and as you fly through it you get different contrails. If there were a conspiracy to spray nano particles all over the place the negative effects of that would affect the perps as much as the intended victims. So, without a proper motive, I don't get it.

Good interview on Charles Goyette of Ron Paul:

Life imitates art.
When I started watching "Person of Interest" on TV it seemes "futuristic".
Now it looks like the reality we are just learning about.
Put it in the White House and the Board Rooms of the TBTF.
I live in the frickin woods! So I'm not completely sure that this worries me! Any dumb bastards find their way on to my acreage and install this shit, and I will be sure the local scrapyard sees plenty of my business:-)
And one other thing! We can't even fix potholes and I'm expected to fear this fukin sheet! The day this incompetent fucking goverment, fed, state or otherwise gets their collectives heads out of their asses and actually accomplishes something substantial then maybe I'll give a rat's fat ass to their propaganda schtick!
They'll install it on the drones and fly them over your place. I live outta town too, but those fucking govt scum will be here. Hope every capital in this country including dc gets nuked, just because I need the laugh watching the reruns on youtube.
Its pretty simple when you think about it. The US government is the single largest "consumer" in existence, so it is only natural that industry, especially technology, is coming up with everything imaginable to sell big brother to "protect" us. It is most definitely a brave new world coming. Nothing will ever be the same.
Lol... so we should teach it that pissing on the street is normal behaviour so anybody who doesn't whip it out is an illegal?
Excellent suggestion. I would ask where I sign up, but I think I'll just sign my name on the pavement.
All this predictive stuff in cameras will do is allow us to go from a "low delta" robbery in a convience store to a "high delta" one. Still won't stop them humans.
This is a scam to try to extract tax dollars for a boondoggle. "Neural networks" is code for a load of BS for something that doesn't work but is very expensive.
Forget the low hanging fruit. It's more sinister than that: It's to let people know "Who's boss", and condition the masses accordingly.
I'd urge/implore all libertarians to search for and read the psych experiment with five monkeys, a banana, ladder and water hose. The exact same principles have been used for centuries by the clerical and secular elite in training and 'breeding' their subjects. Sad to say.
Artificial neural networks can be very useful tools. But picking up on the nuances of human behavior in the real world? Nope, I'll bet dollars to dogshit that they wind up pumping out a ton of false positives. They can deal with some "fuzziness," and actually they can do so fairly well. But human behavior can be very complex.
Look at it this way, if at any given time, 1 out of 1,000 people who are in view of the camera are about to commit a serious crime, and this thing is 99% accurate, that means that it for every 10 people it flags, you would only expect 1 to actually be up to no good. But people won't get that, they'll say "BUT, BUT, BUT, IT'S 99% ACCURATE!"
(Yeah, but there will be a whole lot more opportunity to falsely flag innocent people than there will be to flag people who are about to do something bad, and that's not getting into the opportunity to have a false negative.)
their cure is worse than the disease, that is the signature
of bad government.
+1, BM
And if anyone believes this is for the betterment of society, he's sadly mistaken.
Sh't kept piling up.
"Neural networks" is code for a load of BS
If it pushes "nano" off the front page, I'm for it.
Welcome to the Panopticon.
what happened to the beat cop?
yeah look at the great job this is doing in chicago... oh i forgot, shootings and murder is normal behavior there....
We won't be safe from terrorists until there is a camera in every room of your house, just in case one breaks in.
Another black mark for Texas... (George Bush wasn't enough?)
The voice syntax in the promo. is that of the machine person that chases the Hero in Matrix. From ancient days, the machine is the beast; the metaphor is the European (Not Chinese) dragon who steals Virgins, and Gold and does nothing with them. The Machine hoards and protects its cache. This is the Metaphor for Government, it is statism and all that hangs off it. Government / Dragon does not want change; it demands Totalitarianism, a priori. Why? It is a "collective", or a single celled amoebic parasite such as Fungi Candida. Government is not of the Universal Principle of humanity.
The "Collective" is cunning but is not of "intelligence" and certainly not of "intellect". Only humans have the ability to utilize resources (eg Virgins and Gold) for Humanity in a Society.
A State (empire) is the machine's (beast's) World.
Now you can see why the FedRes does what it does and all their members profit from the blood of humanity. It does not have the intelligence to transform / transmute resources into the factors demanded by civilization.
This is the lesson we must learn from the insanity of today. The Principle of government, as it is today, is NOT the Universal Principle Governance of Humanity.
Ho hum
I sometimes wonder if the Anti-Christ won't be some mix of computers and the modern surveillance state. Together they pose almost unlimited abilities for control.
When we all get our chip implants monitoring our location and actions 24/7 let's see if the numbers start with 6-6-6, haha!
The number is just a number. The reality will be so 'wonderful' nearly everyone will fall for it. Then, "blam!" - gottcha. "You have millions? Well, sorry, you can't spend any of those dollars until you get the imprint/implant." We can see how this anti-Christ could operate. Can we see how we will defeat him?

Nice things about cameras is that their capacity to fight back is much smaller than a sledge hammer's ability is to smash shit.
And you can call me skeptical of an artificial neural network's abilities to pick up on all of the nuances of human behavior. I used to work with them waaaay back in the day.
I'll second that. Neural networks are an oversold concept that have never lived up to their billing.
If you want to use them to run you targeting system from a tank moving at 35mph, with a range finder, while shooting at a moving vehicle, they'll work great. If you have a large particle detector in a physics experiment with 1000 photomultiplier tubes arranged spherically, and you want to know super fast exactly where in the 18m diameter detector the event happened, neural nets will work great. In both cases, it is likely that a neural net solution can be engineered where margin of error is much smaller than the vehicle you are shooting at or is much smaller than the size of the detector. But both of those are based on reducing a large dataset down to very simple physical laws. Specifically, d=rt.
But plug them into the stock market back in the days when the markets were only half manipulated. You may do well for a while, but you will eventually get a good, sound ass raping. Even in today's markets, the chances that they will predict a black swan are, IMO, slim to none.
For every solution using a "neural network", there is another optimization algorithm or classifier that solves the problem better and probably faster [maybe not cheaper since you might actually have to do something called "real work" to understand your problem and design a solution].
Why not just send the video data streams to the Fed? They'll use optimal control and design a QE strategy to inflate the problems away? [with China messing with the yuan, perhaps the fed will "untaper"].
Pyramid stock promotion confirmed:
http://ipvm.com/updates/2068
This site regularly mocks BRS for being a stock promotion.
BRS is selling to the NSA, CIA. The sales are likely real but they cannot be disclosed financially. Remember, The Spice Must Flow.
This is just the start - actually next to nothing. Wait unti they install lasers to remotely measure your pulse, blood pressure. Wait until they install super directional mics that can pick up conversations at 500 feet upon "suspicion". Wait until they integrate into databases for instant face recognition. Wait until they use super high res cameras to try to zoom in and grab your fingerprints as you walk and then match them to your face and other identity details (think Lytro x 10). Take all this with the CIA snooping and pretty much anything you do is now grabbed, bagged and catalogued.
The only way out is to shut it all down. Unfortunately, once someone knows how to build X, even if shut down they can just build X for someone else. It will take a mass awakening to shift the laws to stop all this nonsense. I do not think that will happen until its gone way, way too far. At that point we are likely fighting Google/AIBO cyborgs. .... Is this a movie????
1) The cocksuckers running things in this country are grossly incompetent.
2) It takes joules to develop, install and run all of that shit. The more they push for total information awareness, the more swamped they're going to be, the more joules they will have to expend, and they will collapse under the weight of their own bullshit hubris.
Between the weight of our modern bureaucratic state and the rise of the surveilance state I am ready to find a friggin rock like the one in Castaway and watch the sunset daily. I'd welcome anyone who doesn't have this obsessive-compulsive impulse to control every aspect of his fellow human's life.

and all "security" is bankers' security.
The obvious counterplay in the arms race against increasingly sophisticated surveillance equipment, is for the criminal (or the civilly disobedient) to simply become more brazen in their acts, to organize and plan a blitzkrieg against the target, and to not care what the camera sees. There was a long period of slow and steady development when a bright, enterprising criminal could still outfox security countermeasures, when success as a criminal depended on the Pink Panther-like tactics of stealth and knowledge. But now that the security apparatus is omnipresent, the powers that be are forcing the long war to its final confrontation. One last strategy remains to those who would oppose the law: sheer audacity.
A few days ago I wrote about a concept I dubbed "Flash Mob Militias," and theorized that it might be made into an app. With tools such as instant alerts, photo sharing, and Google maps available on smartphones, liberty-minded citizens could sign on to a service that would network local "militiamen" together, so that they could quickly identify an intrusion of state power and swarm against it, perhaps forcing the cops to retreat.
I'm not sure why some determined crime syndicate has not already done something similar. For instance, what if you didn't just rob one bank? What if you put together a large, organized crew and robbed 100 branch banks at the same time, all over the city? And maybe while you were doing that, why not call in a few dozen bomb threats, knock over a transformer box or two, drive a few old beater cars out to the freeway and set them on fire, and in general so overwhelm law enforcement's response capabilities that nothing could be done about it. Heck, if you were particularly crafty, all this could be done and yet be just a distraction from the main event, like in Die Hard with a Vengeance. If you were very careful not to actually hurt anyone (a difficult task, I admit, but a possible one) you might even become a folk hero. I think there is enough seething resentment and cynicism out there that a significant percentage of the population would vicariously enjoy the spectacle and would root for you as the underdog.
Anyway, I bring all this up merely to say that panopticon-level surveillance will not thwart criminal behavior, it will force it to become outright rebellion. If you don't care about getting caught on camera, the camera may as well not exist.
Yeah, Roy's so cool, that racing fool. He don't know what fear's about. He do 130 mile an hour smilin' at the camera with a toothpick in his mouth.
-Jim Croce
These kind of weapons always make me laugh, as all of them, in addition to being directly vulnerable, also heavily depend on infrastructure to work--power and a communications channel at a minimum.
"Cut the cord, and you cut the feed."
"My guillotine does not depend on infrastructure to operate."
A few years ago in England there was several days of civil mayhem, bashings, vandalism, arson, hooliganism etc. Mostly by migrants, the unemployable and other riff raff. Even Prince Charles car was pelted by a mob. Many millions in damage hundreds of injuries and a few deaths. The fact that the cameras were watching them didn't stop the actions of the trouble makers. One incident that made the news was a guy who was bashed was "helped" by others (who stole stuff from his backpack).
But over the following weeks and months a few thousand of them were arrested and charged (including the guy who robbed the injured man).
If you don't care about getting caught on camera then you are a fool. Bring the System down but do it with a thought to future consequences.
This really doesn't bother me. Before, police would hassle people based on things like race or clothing. Now we have robots flagging the same thing. What's the difference? I'm guessing the main difference is that robots don't demand pension to be paid for 30 years after they have been thrown out. We can't say that a puppet master being arrested was caused by drones or cameras. it still boils down to douchebags going on a power trip.
paid for by john q. public, the victim.
neat trick, or cheap trick.
Nothing a hammer can't fix.
Sort of like those scam-eras they put around to generate revenue from traffic. When things get a bit tougher, those things are toast, and so is the "revenue."
When the Liberty movement get going, these cameras are toast as well. They can turn to the "revenue from the scam-eras to replace them. Oops! I guess not.
With a zeroed scope, my 30.06 could take even a small camera out at 500 yds.
"should be installed around the block in Washington D.C."
A politician NOT taking bribes would be flagged immediately.
Americans are going to fuck with these things, ad nauseum.
Watching people and being able to successfully control them 24/7/365 are two very different things.
I figure either we'll have:
A. An Orwellian police state that hums along very efficiently, and can control everything/everyone.
Or...
B. Economic and/or currency collapse, in which the police state infrastructure gets stolen/vandalized/falls apart/rusts away...
"I'll second that. Neural networks are an oversold concept that have never lived up to their billing."
They work for some things. There was a bot program for the game Counter-Strike, called NNBot, that worked very well. I did not need to create waypoint files telling the bots where to plant the bomb or where to find the hostages. They would wander around the map and learn it as they go, saving what they've learned in a data files.
Carry arould 2.5 lb plates in each pocket, keep your hands in your pockets and never look up. and look around alot.

the easy way for a police state to control the populace would be to just assume everyone is guilty and act accordingly but, of course someone has to benefit from the .gov contract.
alert
donut supplies are in
This is the gov't that's installing this system. There is no way it will be effective. Just more billions down the sinkhole.

Duly Noted.
I feel safer already.
My rocket propelled paint gun with night vidion sight works just fine.
This has promise, if it can recognize a banker's suit, or the saccharine smile of a politician.
A half a dozen little missles on each camera and we can take care of this crime shit. Well.. or all street artists, whichever comes first.
Point these Cameras toward Washington, plenty of crime happening there every day.
Job growth industry - camera snipers.
The information this gives us is not new. It is basically saying don't stand out.
The bright 1%'ers have been gravitating toward this thinking for a while. It is only inner city rapsters who must display their bling who have been doing otherwise.
I am more concerned not with physical actions, I am more concerned with decisions and financial actions and those have been traceable for a while. Just that TPTB don't care or are part of the actions.
Chicago eh'? Gaurentee it wont find one gang member or drug lord.. gaurentee
I'm sure the Missouri Information Analysis Center's MAIC Report was programmed into the AI, therefore making virtually everyone it scans a domestic terrorist. It should be named AIHammer cause everything it views will look like a nail.
" The system enables a machine to monitor is environment, and build up a detailed profile of what can be considered “normal” behaviour. The AI can then determine what kind of behavior is abnormal, without human pre-programing."
Multiple flash mobs doing abnormal behavior, could teach it that abnormal behavior is normal.
Training the neural net on "normal" behavior in Chicago is going to make the rest of Americans look highly suspicious by comparison. Not hanging out on stoops smoking weed and harassing passersby: pre-crime. Not driving recklessly: pre-crime. Working a job: pre-crime.
