"China’s big brother: how artificial intelligence is catching criminals ... " [^]
Quote:
In one of the company’s open spaces is a large screen that identifies anyone who stares at it, and then plays videos of their recent movements throughout the premises. The effect is perhaps a little “Big Brother”, but this is nothing compared to what else Yitu can do – and is doing.
Quote:
Whole cities in which the algorithms are working say they have seen a decrease in crime. According to Yitu, which says it gets its figures directly from the local authorities, since the system has been implemented, pickpocketing on Xiamen’s city buses has fallen by 30 per cent; 500 criminal cases have been resolved by AI in Suzhou since June 2015; and police arrested nine suspects identified by algorithms during the 2016 G20 summit in Hangzhou. Dragonfly Eye has even identified the skull of a victim five years after his murder, in Zhejiang province.
«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it.» Claude Levi-Strauss (Tristes Tropiques, 1955)

Whatever the future holds, Yitu’s chief executive is sure of one thing: “The world is going to change so fast that our imagination can’t even foresee, now, what it will look like in 30 years.”
The one thing we can predict about the future is that whatever we predict about it now will be woefully off the mark of what actually comes to pass. Yet, ironically, in retrospect it will all seem to have been so obvious....

That's not entirely true. For years, science fiction writers have "over predicted" the rise of technology. In nearly all aspects, we are not nearly as advanced as most of them have predicted. Of course, in some ways we are farther but not very many.

I don't know anything I can say is 'not entirely true' with a straight face.

And, George Orwell appears more prescient every year.
