Surveillance Company Flock Now Using AI to Report Us to Police if it Thinks Our Movement Patterns Are “Suspicious”

Company crosses a dangerous line by beginning to offer AI suspicion-generation functions

It automates unjust stop and searches, harassment, handcuffing and use of force.

Oops! AI did it again... you're not that innocent.

Nectar, a 'crime-predicting' system developed with #Palantir, could be rolled out nationally after a pilot with Bedfordshire police (UK).

Data such as race, sex life, trade union membership, philosophical beliefs and health are used to 'predict' criminality so people can be targeted for #surveillance.

Police use controversial AI tool that looks at people’s sex lives and beliefs

Senior MPs and privacy campaigners have expressed alarm at the deployment of Palantir’s AI-powered crime-fighting software with access to sensitive personal information
