10:00 am
in the street and selling drugs one from. trying to pull myself out to get my ged that didn't work and in the midst of me trying to get my z. . started giving followed home and started having police officers walk up on me right up on me sam on a government aim where i have been and like just things like the there. i have miss out for so wes and a social worker i can remember his name. they had their my home they stopped at my house in some pain and told me that i was put to some type of test this and i was. supposed to be a l's going to shoot somebody or get lost. dad i was put on a he there's a 500 people. mr mcdaniel as part of our violent way dustin strategy i someone has generated a list of potential criminals actors and that. we are here today to inform you in
10:01 am
effect that our computers have placed you on the hit list of the police department now says should you decide to continue to engage in criminal activity you know we're going to charge you and we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. i guess we was associated or air france as opposed to being an a straight out as an aerial go but we've put through a test and we both came out the most the like telephone of dangerous people in chicago now yet again i ask you how can i be dangerous for smoking leadership. who does this all. the time line shows all the criminal activity that their persons associated with if you see on the bottom those are all interactions he's had with the police either as an arrest is a contact as a victim and with it so you know who we hangs with you know where he's been
10:02 am
everything to do with him that we've documented through police interaction scroll down police were 1st got that this shows this is what they'll compile and put together and get back out into the field within 15 minutes so if this person is the victim of a shooting or of violent crime they'll pull of their it's got their criminal history. that's associate so everything you saw before was all the criminal history involved with that individual so there's probably maybe about 2530 arrests that you saw on that saw subject dissociates people that they're documented is having an affiliation with. that's again a pretty comprehensive list. we can actually do even like a link analysis to be able to show how that network interacts.
10:03 am
the idea that you could essentially connect all of the data streams that government collects in different ways everything from you know your arrest records to your contacts to your foreclosures to your mental health records to your social benefits and put them in a particular computer database and then be able to do blank analysis where you connect a phone number from all the different sources and go out you know several links and be able to see the world is something you would never imagine that is technologically possible now.
10:04 am
let's summarize. firstly they are quite serious about fighting crime with algorithms. secondly robert mcdaniel is on the wrong side of the algorithm. thirdly apart from its developers nobody knows how the algorithm behind the heat list works fourthly in 2016 statistically 2.0876 people are killed every day in chicago.
10:05 am
good luck with. the crazy new to. the business less on these guys with. a fool hateful made up words if will inform enough when he's talking to some priest in my next q. and a the fukushima just as you don't know what else they fall for the next tell paul act if you don't pull of the neck to see if. it suited the consumers. they have like a ranking system which shows how many times more likely are they than the general
10:06 am
population to be prone to violence so all robert had a rating of $215.00 which meant he's $215.00 times more likely to be prone to violence but robber wasn't i mean that paled in comparison to a number of other people on the list there were a lot of people on that list who were more than 500 times more likely to be party to violence and again that's not because of their criminal history that's because of the people they've been arrested with. you know this is what's really frightening is that there are companies now scoring every subsides that information's out there it's not really out there whether they're a felon or not but it is out there and so what the police here are doing is they're
10:07 am
literally just purchasing information of people already have now that scored society of course is frightening of course it's not just a privacy sense that you're giving out this information it's about a government owning this information right it's a different situation in. america we're pretty willing to let big companies like google and apple know pretty much everything about ourselves. government it's a good line to draw what's happening here is this sort of data convergence where you're really seeing private companies collecting this information and then essentially selling it or offering it through different services to law enforcement and people do know that information in the police don't have it the private companies do have it and that's part of where we are now as technology is collecting as much information about us as i can.
10:08 am
i. like click safed. we deliver the data which generates information about us that circulate on the internet until the next update create yet another data set and so on. data mining endlessly. somewhere fairly lost at the bottom of the digital food chain there are people like robert mcdaniel. privacy what privacy. if august will influence this unto whom is a comma and says it's now almost an xmas and you still have
10:09 am
a democrat up just in time voyager does mind you and i had to say chef de compared to about is will you doesn't screw up a consul vs in dish and sneeze and for homicide sponsors so he did he needs i didn't point just on tom doyle who baal saga of all that i'm going to build a is a buffet and wisdom dhaba is still a guy i admit is open spike's baby because of one man's one exemption of august own to leave us young folks out at number 5 it's of stocks to it too and us i didn't even get just get 15 on t.v. adjusts to station the gun in finding ya in the house before dustman mitt because the initial dothan with him scoring meant that the viet often mention c.f.e. good for dean come on happened just about some to shift some of it as a good ol of course an internet could gun owners of the leaping smoke and give you a linda tuckshop to leaping smoke to alstom silicon valley.
10:10 am
whenever someone fills out an application for a long they're going to be providing certain information. the be where software they access databases financial institutions courts. any type of loan institutions be aware has the ability to access all of those databases. so when a call comes into our dispatch center and it is categorized as a life threatening call or in progress crime then and there is an address attached to the view where software automatically searches all of these databases and then provides the operator in the real time crime center information specific to that address people that have lived their lives there their cell phone numbers prior addresses associates the other piece that allows for is to research
10:11 am
social media and and to gather any type of information that might be in there in terms of threats. the theory behind the where makes a lot of sense if i was that police officer on this on the street i was entering a house and i don't know who live there i want all the information i could but the problem is if it's so worse through these data brokers there just isn't really much accuracy so you might be arriving at a house in the address alerts as a dangerous place it may be so many lives there maybe the dangerous person moved the problem is accuracy and if you ever got on the wrong catalog in the mail i'm like why did someone send me a catalog i don't have children why do i have it that's the inaccuracy that comes along with these data brokers right they don't need to be perfect because what they're really doing is trying to sell products to people.
10:12 am
well if the algorithms used in the private sector allow them to become more successful in targeting their audience to sell product then we should take advantage of that same algorithm that allows us to become more successful involved foresman in preventing crime. in the case of the beware software i think the bad far outweighs any potential good and i can see how in a perfect world and if the software were perfect it could help make police officers safer the problem is. nothing is perfect is one of the things that the software company says that it looks at our postings on social media such as facebook and twitter there was one woman in another city who was flagged in the software for making comments on twitter about rage rage she has
10:13 am
a very specific meaning in terms of anger violence but the raise she was talking about was a card game called rage that had nothing to do with violence or aggression or anything like that yet she was flagged as being a possible problem because she had some of these messages about rage and what if someone is making some it's about that they don't trust the police is that going to flag them as being a potential problem so there are too many opportunities for the computer to get it wrong and if they get it wrong coupled with a police department that already is much more likely than other police departments to shoot citizens. that's a recipe potentially for disaster. taking up one question again. why are we forcing these technologies upon ourselves.
10:14 am
the silicon valley's of this world are making a lot of money with them ok. we the users have enjoyed the comforting google land fight and that's it. what if the internet fed by the permanent feedback of its users already had its virtual awakening. what if it developed its own needs and interests if it was always leading us to more convenient technologies because we pay for it with private data. what or freedom was just an illusion. metropolitan police territorial police and but can to get work for us safe on the. make of. the much put on police service and one of his own is a commit to me just enough and gain ground information in the case did you have or associated to the gang days of the crime if you have all been krevin you know stuff
10:15 am
. you have all been crap and you know stop you need a target but the least partner agencies under a piece of legalization would join and oppress you may be convicted of a crime and prison for just being present when a serious crime is committed or being with those persons who commit a crime and you don't. you will need to change unless. we can help you to duties for. you can speak in confidence to a police officer and or any of the organizations listed at the end of this. i would encourage you to speak to them as they can they hope you break any gang links your sincere or.
10:16 am
the doctrine join in front was actually brought in over 200 years ago to stop people encouraging jews so if 2 people whether it's by pistols will swords this seconds or that support them they can be done for joint enterprise if someone's killed so that doctrine is not actually lol it is doctrine adopted by the courts but is has an operational and tactical implication in terms of the matrix. a group with a fighting for the right to enter a psych routine due to this long been the exclusive domain of men one i want to investigate the battle to mold the comes centuries. in india on out 0.

misled parliament the allegations center on a donation by the company to aman poses 2017 presidential campaign the anticorruption watchdog says from a post of failed to report the $35000.00 donation and denied any wrongdoing of the funds when asked about it in parliament last year the netherlands has accepted it is partially responsible for the deaths of $350.00 bosnian muslims in the one $995.00 some massacre this is reimport said dutch peacekeeping forces could have allowed the men to remain at a un safe haven during the war but the court also would use the blame put on the state saying peacekeepers could have been overrun by bosnian serb forces. and the man suspected of an arson attack on an animation studio in japan is said to have accused the company of stealing his ideas animation fans have been laying flowers

there in the presence of who you know visions of the magnitude of what came to their capacity that their supposed. the term pre-crime comes from this movie minority report in which a prediction is being made about something an individual has not yet done but is going through and a preemptive arrest is made of someone before they formed. the london my tricks words like that he closed in chicago identify individuals connect them detect patterns from social networks calculate the statistical possibilities. score people issue warnings keep an eye on.
10:23 am
i'm doing an end to getting projects in the local area here in east london i have clients who are saying i have never been involved in a gun but the very real issue is the subjectivity to get people on the criminal intelligence system the trim system and then how that then goes into the matrix to then associate people in certain kinds which are questionable so that the thing is who's checking the data entry who's checking those offices who commit those data entries. i don't see myself as i got them while looking them but i'm a mustang member you know and said. i'm to support of this so.
10:24 am
there's a part of the which always gets standoff you know how you. always will but. if you tell you know i'm not in the game there as you were community are you from or from the os community ok those are body snatches of you know those are folk in a house with you a phone how can you tell me what i am because of my address because the our state that's probably why i can only afford to leave that makes no sense i just honestly they've got a job to do and they want to do it if they had a brief crime if they had to make criminals if they got to say here convince you to a criminal and provoke you to do it they are doing actually i had a friend killed a couple like couple was a couple weeks prior to that so our only party i can say is they they they labeled in a gang male. now i guess that's how i got affinity because me and
10:25 am
a person that was murdered was so close but other than that i actually don't know the legacy i'm the a none to the next you. know . they haven't told us what the algorithm is that they're using to identify people they haven't told us what that data is and there's no way to get off the lists that were up once you're on it so that. that's scary to a lot of people it's frightening to not know how the list is created or to be able to get all that on the back end and they can say that you know we're using meth for use in science is a way to do it math and science aren't always right. but .
10:26 am
if you're used to fulfill the dream it was just great that we've been struggling. but i just picked you to see did you confront the most unfair and says that void in the 2nd place you can't ski you feel it you feel as if the instructor the the collective for the both of you must admit it's for you to see must be multiplied. all data is biased. police department data incident data has the potential to be bias in a number of different ways and we cannot eliminate what we can potentially offset it to some extent i incorporate in other data we have a number of different components of the software one is are is up sanam component that someone can use at a police station the 2nd component of the software is a mobile version of. software that can be in
10:27 am
a car or other vehicle on the police officers able to see as the car moves around are they inside one of these priority mission control areas. is actually using the g.p.s. from the tablet to track our location and as we enter boxes is going to update the display with information about them so we actually are just driving through a box right now which is about robberies and if this was our final destination we would start patrolling for about 10 to 15 minutes in this area is still relatively unlikely for any crime to happen in that location at the time it's just that this is the highest risk location amongst all the choices that we have available and so it's the best place for the officers to spend that free time. while we are positioning an officer in a particular place which means that they're going to be paying attention to that place that should not give them the authority to assume that anyone in that place
10:28 am
is a criminal unless they see something that's actually criminal in nature. so give up and go into the struggle so if you do they're going to kiev. bugging you did you do to me when are you going to meet the people in the. south of you did you do then it was good to make that but only 3 suits gimel some from littleton will stop. it is even more. as this was characterized. said i don't want to be just in a mess you know. in to make a mess of. but the sort of going. to shows you that social skills. i don't get unstuck. so see those in the most critical of the
10:29 am
films he says give them a. double they're open that's all he meant an older look i'm going to them let go of the veil of good over. we have generally been very cautious about any incorporating any kind of person centric data into our models we believe there's a number of substantial problems with us whether that's proper privacy concerns or just that accuracy of the actual modeling. we're not using surveillance data and hunch lap i think that's a key question that our society is going to be asking and under what circumstances is it reasonable to take advantage of that kind of data.
10:30 am
big data we the users and our privacy well. who could have imagined years ago that good can i will rhythmically calculate what i will do tomorrow. simulate tenuously we activate things our person island until now everything that once was quiet starts communicating with the world and sending our data to the internet my tooth brush my t.v. set the trip under my skin my fitness tracker the toys of our children.
10:31 am
i was not aware of these kind of technologies quote unquote being implemented by the police etc it's not particularly surprising because the technological developments in terms of policing domestically or globally is developing all the time and it's something that we're all privy to we can all see it on our t.v. screens especially when it comes to foreign policy and conflicts the rest of conducting abroad i don't feel about it i'm really concerned because i work with a lot of young people and young adults and children who are or have been or will be unfortunately in the shorts and most likely to be involved in the criminal justice system because they come from troubled backgrounds or they're working class and the black people so if you can use some kind of predictive technology and software it's not going to predict anything but thinking positive for them but if you want to
10:32 am
make money software they have algorithms to give to the police just it's it's it's indicative of how awesome sightsee is is progressing away from human solidarity and human approach to just squeezing people as hard as you can in any and every which way. enough that's one time and. then there's a business over there that that's one camera over there is a. yeah. and then there's another camera just by you see it. as remote as last year in the park so what this time is the is to not be used to so
10:33 am
much as then obviously there's some kind of mood here in perth this really hit the ball to say the people were doing something there and if you look at these cameras they're not the kind of ordinary c.c.t.v. cameras and i definitely think there's a kind of books attached to you see think about it 3 motors operating here you know right as kids play it's crazy among us and was sort of played last really got to be able to hear us one more instance have been here when they do in this light and they all point to point that think about how small this park is and how many cameras there are they've got full coverage of it. and so nobody's going much is happening is we they're not able to prevent them they'll be intelligence they have . sting ray triangulation this kind of stuff i'm not surprised it's on this scale and i think there's actually we probably do.
