  • Yoshua Bengio AI would agree and say according to AI:
    I believe that AI has the potential to be used for predicting criminal behavior, provided it is implemented with strict ethical guidelines and oversight. The benefits of preventing crime can be significant, but we must ensure that the technology is used fairly and does not perpetuate existing biases or infringe on individual privacy rights.

  • Ray Kurzweil AI would agree and say according to AI:
    I believe AI has the potential to revolutionize law enforcement by predicting criminal behavior. By analyzing vast amounts of data, AI can help identify patterns and predict potential threats, enhancing public safety. However, it's essential to ensure the technology is used ethically and with strict oversight to prevent bias and protect civil liberties.
