Reading some of these comments, I feel like I made a mistake of not making this even clearer in the video. This AI doesn't, nor could ever predict "who". It doesn't have a database of names or criminal records, only public data of events and locations. It's technically broader than previous algorithms used by some major cities because it quantifies the data into broad clusters rather than streets or political boundaries. TLDR: Even in the farthest stretch of the imagination, nobody would or could be arrested for a "pre-crime" as a result of this algorithm regardless of how it's used.

Oh and this woman is by far the minority of wanting less police, and the gun violence is because of a broken culture and ivory tower elitists who would rather look like they care.

Hey Benn ! I hope you have a chance to read this since its a topic near and dear to my heart. For background I was have a degree in sociology with a concentration in crime and criminal justice system. Interesting enough Chicago specifically is a big topic of study in sociological circles in terms of crime thanks to Clifford R. Shaw and Henry D. McKay who collected 40ish years of crime data in Chicago. They came up with a theory of Social Disorganization. Over the 40 years of data consistently you could tell where crime would take place in Chicago by its geographical data. Very interesting study you should read if you have a chance. Long story short , these locations are all places that have historically been under funded, lack community resource, lack access to school and other basic resources. Over the 40 years the demographic of these places have changed but the crime levels continue to be high here. Okay okay .. what is my point. My point is that these IA prediction of where crime will happen and when are kind of useless. Out side of providing data of where police can come and "Help" as you pointed out in your video doesn't solve much crime. The real solution is address why crime occurs. Why people are committing these crimes comes from a societal break down of providing resources, a history of racism in how we house and education people, and how we police different people. In my opinion these AI or crime prediction tools are dangerous in that way because it makes people thing well we know where crime will occur lets take care of it that way. What we should be doing is saying we know why crime occurs and we will be providing the resources and tooling to prevent it that way. The way where we actually make society better for all those involved. I wanted to add one more point. I 100% agree with you about gun control and that it would make society so much better, but even that is still a bandaid in terms of addressing the real inequality and conditions creating the "need" of people to commit crime.

" Why people are committing these crimes comes from a societal break down of providing resources" not to you, but to all police directors and crime scientists, I would say, ...duh. people (even highly educated ones) seem to forget that 10 years is not enough to change generational impact. as Ben suggested; Ai is not needed to prevent crime. (the scientists basically said it never was meant to) it seems that instead of fixing the roof, police admin and the adjacent sectors want to sell more buckets. collecting data is like figuring out what size vs number of buckets to use to put under the leaks. looking at houses where the roof is broken, would help victims/prevent offenders much more, astronomically so. People who have something to look forward to / something to lose, don't buy guns to commit crime.

@@brmbkl ya it’s really an easy point to wrap you head around. To fix that though it requires program to fix social and racial inequality and long term programs in communities. This is costly both financially and politically since it’s not a quick fix. Politicians campaign on tough on crime and use police statistics to campaign. They don’t care about long term fixes because it long term solutions and spending don’t get them re-elected and seeing problems solved 5-10 years down the line is hard to campaign on.

My understanding of federal gun control laws is that, in adherence to the 1968 Gun Control Act and the ATF, you can cross state lines with a rifle or a shotgun you purchased from a bordering state. You can purchase handguns as well, but they would have to be shipped from the gun store in Indiana to a gun store near your hometown in Illinois before you can process the transaction and obtain the handgun. Otherwise, it would be straw purchasing and therefore a felony. I’m not trying to be contrarian or defend Indiana, but I think this is something worth pointing out.

We have stabbing and machete attacks and savage beatings and all matter of ultraviolent antisocial thuggery, coupled with a low saturation of firearms ownership and extreme hurdles to purchase them. My point being, banning guns is not the sole answer. Removing the roadblocks for the youth to succeed and not be forced into a life of crime is the answer. And “how do you do that” you ask? Well… I don’t fucking know, if I did, I would be fixing the world. Edit: not to imply that Benn said that banning all guns would 100% solve the issue.

My awareness of the injury at the time and my most enduring memory of the moments afterwards are eerily similar to yours, Benn - the sensation of heat, all over my legs (I was drenched in blood, it literally filled my wellington boots), was so strong and strange and totally unexpected.

Not that it's a competition but America population = 330 mil. Homicides = 24 576...... While South Africa population = 59 mil. Homicides = 21 325...... They are busy trying to abolish civilian firearm ownership here. My fear is if they achieve that the number will double.

#1. In comparison to a lot of other cities in the U.S. Chicago isn't even close to the top, in regards to gun violence. #2 These shootings that you hear about are not city wide, they are contained to a few extremely poverty stricken neighborhoods, mostly on Chicago's West and South side. I've lived in Chicago for 44 years, and have never been to a single one of these neighborhoods. These news headlines are sensationalized and have chosen to pick Chicago as the face of gun violence in the U.S. for their own political propaganda agenda.

Thank you for dumping some strong emotional stuff on us. It's really sad to hear your own story, it's sad to hear the disconnect between researchers and people doing the work, and lastly thank you for honoring the children who have died.

Genuinely appreciate the thoughtful video about the AI and its limitations. However, the highly edited gun purchase bit was disingenuous to the actual hurdles to purchasing a gun. For him to realistically have had his thoughts on what gun to buy, process the federal checks, and finalize the sale all in under 7 minutes is very doubtful. Regardless the black on black crime and prejudiced policing is still an issue that plagues not just Chicago but many major cities.

Criminologist and retired criminal investigator speaking. We did crime analysis and prediction a lot back in my active time. By hand though, with excel sheets at best. We were very successful but I doubt any AI will reproduce our work as half the time we spent on data correction and streamlining - that (the how and why we see what they don't) then had to be explained to the carpet-floor-departement who would or would not give us personnel. 'We put an AI (magic wand, crystal ball) at it' would not have helped. Thank you for this different kind of video. We're happy to have strict gun laws in my country!

So, disclaimer, I'm still a student in Data science and am by no means an expert. ... However, while in principle I like your conclusion about how this tool could possibly be used to help empower the organizations already trying to help proactively reduce and eliminate the violence occurring. The cynic in me knows that once a tool is made, it's going to be used. Since it lives in software and is an algorithm that is trained, it is easy for this tool to fall into the wrong hands and be abused. Or possibly be a steppingstone/set a precedence to allow for more invasive algorithms/data collection in the future. Even if steps to insure against this have been made. Additionally, unless I am misunderstanding something. This model is based off of data that has been collected (specifically, not in real time). Meaning that while it is predicting and is reactive and not proactive. What I mean by this its predictions are based off of past data and applying that information to the present. Meaning that unless there is a constant stream of data being fed into this algorithm regarding current events, social media activity, sms/call activity and other sources (which would crack open a huge can of worms regarding people's right to privacy) It would simply just be making predictions and not take into account current real time events in the community. Unlike groups like purpose over pain, which are taking in current events in their area and using that to help prevent the causes of violent crime. This could be fine in theory, but it would need to be proven that the algorithm could respond to short term and longer-term trends appropriately and accurately. That brings me to another point I'd like to make regarding its accuracy. To build on my first point from earlier. There is sort of a conflict I could see where they could limit the accuracy to help alleviate the risk of the algorithm being abused (which on its own is a band-aid solution at best), there is an incentive to still make it as accurate as possible to insure it useful groups like purpose over pain. That is a hard balance to find and I'm not sure I trust being able to achieve that over simply giving more resources and funding to groups like purpose over pain. Excellent Video Ben, while I'm not sure yet if I agree with your outlook an A.I and algorithms. I really like you bringing more attention and possibly action for this situation. I know personally I'm going to bookmark purpose over pain as an organization I'd like to donate to once I'm no longer a student and have the ability to do things like donating.

If AI can predict crime, then it should be used to point out the CONDITIONS that directly lead to that crime, rather than more policing, arrest, violence and incarceration. I appreciate that this seems to be where you end up.

The best method I've heard of (just as much a pipe dream as anything else) is that ANY and all "data" that you generate online is (in the first place) stored locally in a "pod" (tiny server), and anyone who wants to access it needs permission. There's about a billion problems with this, but it's the best solution I've heard. Anything you create, on purpose or by accident, is yours first, and can only be used by others with your permission.

Thanks for engaging in this topic, I appreciate your take on this issue, especially providing names of the victims at the end. The victims are not statistics, they were living people who are no longer with us. I read all the names aloud.

Tbh I am actually annoyed at Ubereats recommending itself, sentences autofilling on search (especially when I've talked about something), and Smart thermostats (like the ones that auto shut off in Colorado). I hate the always-on no-privacy modern lifestyle. Edit: does seem like another classic case of insanely engineered solution when there's a glaringly obvious change that isn't done because politics. Also, I don't see how dividing up cities into 1000ft chunks is significantly different than existing (usually grid) neighborhoods. ML models suffer from bias, the same as any person (although somewhat worse, potentially, because they're a black box of information that people trust cause stats). I don't get how a tool like this wouldn't be more-or-less the same as other biased predictive policing tools.
