Person of Interest is a television series about a super Artificial Intelligence.
On the show AI does mass surveillance of people from all around the world and can predict crimes before they happen. The show was released in 2011 but now we are seeing the real thing popping across the US.
Farmington Hills, Michigan is using the “Intellistreets system”:
The new high tech surveillance street lights have speakers, LED signs, cameras and crowd counters. The street lights can be programmed by authorities to show any message. They can also be used to track citizens.
Chicago, IL is using the “Heat List” system:
The “Heat List”: Person-based predictive policing use criminal patterns as a key to identify risk factors and try to remedy the underlying environmental causes. Researchers at Chicago ITT developed an algorithm for the police to prioritize those most at risk by analyzing big data and providing individual threat scores to determine a likelihood of future violence.
San Francisco, CA is using the “AIsight Cameras” system:
An automated camera system called AIsight feeds real-time video and alerts authorities if it spots unusual activity. The cameras use a statistical method called machine learning to “learn what is normal for an area and then alerts on abnormal activity. It is creating a precursor pattern for human behavior. It treats everyone as a potential criminal and targets people for crimes they have not yet committed.
DHS is using the “FAST” system:
The Dept. of Homeland Security is using the “Future Attribute Screening Technology” system or (FAST) for short, uses sensors to collect video images, audio recordings, and psychophysiological measurements from the citizens going about their day unaware. It’s designed to track and monitor body movements, voice-pitch, and rhythm changes, eye movement, body heat, breathing patterns, blink rate, and pupil variation. It uses stealth physiological and behavioral sensor technology combined with observational techniques to detect signs of mental stress.

Funny, when Spielberg made “Minority Report”, I was under the assumption that he and many other “elites” were peaceful and against it.
Low and behold, new and improved ways to corral and control us.

Even better ways are coming because we haven’t shown that we can control ourselves.

We are all born with free will. We will never be totally controlled or corralled. Even AI is controlled by humans. Nothing will ever come along that will be able to contain the human spirit, whether good or bad.

You may want to see what Elon Musk had to say recently about humans controlling AI. It could be an eye opener.

What is “Minority Report” about?
LikeLiked by 3 people
Minority Report is a movie about special humans that can see the future. They are connected to a sophisticated computer that can extract images from human consciousness. The police then use those images to arrest people before they commit the crime.
A world without sin.

I don’t remember any sex in it. There is some violence. But it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it. There may be some nudity if I remember correctly. It seemed rather tame at the time.

A special machine that enables law enforcement to predict crimes before they happen. The arrest people based on the predictions of the machine, before they commit a crime.
LikeLiked by 3 people
So, they arrest people even though they have not done anything yet. And, of course, what if the machine’s predictions are wrong? It might get it wrong at some point as it is just a machine, like RIDLEY in “War Games: The Dead Code”.

That’s where the twist in the story occurs. Tom Cruise is the main character. He starts out as a law enforcement officer, until one day the machine predicts that he will commit a crime. From that point on he is on the run. His entire world view has been turned on it’s head. His whole life leading up to that point he thought he was doing good work, saving lives and keeping the public safe.
