Argentina's AI for Crime Prediction

Argentina has created an Applied Artificial Intelligence for Security Unit under its Ministry of Security, aimed at predicting future crimes using machine learning algorithms. The approach involves analyzing historical crime data to anticipate criminal activity, as well as employing facial recognition software to identify wanted individuals.

The combined effort of social media surveillance and real-time security footage analysis raises questions about privacy and the implications of utilizing AI for law enforcement.
