Technology is changing our lives in some of the most significant
ways.
And while it might sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, a
new Artificial Intelligence (AI) model that has been tested across
eight cities in the United States claims to be able
to predict crime a week ahead of time, with a high degree of
accuracy.
Developed by a Chicago University Professor, the model was
tested in Chicago and seven other cities in the US, boasting it can
predict future crime with 80 to 90 percent accuracy.
Predicting
crime trends
The software crunched the statistics on crime in Chicago from
2014 to 2016, predicting the likelihood of certain crimes that
would be committed the following weeks. The predictions were about
both the types of crime that would be committed as well as the
suburbs where they would occur.
