Argentina will use AI to ‘predict future crimes’ but experts worry for citizens’ rights
President Javier Milei creates security unit as some say certain groups may be overly scrutinized by the technology
Argentina’s security forces have announced plans to use artificial intelligence to “predict future crimes” in a move experts have warned could threaten citizens’ rights.
The country’s far-right president Javier Milei this week created the Artificial Intelligence Applied to Security Unit, which the legislation says will use “machine-learning algorithms to analyse historical crime data to predict future crimes”. It is also expected to deploy facial recognition software to identify “wanted persons”, patrol social media, and analyse real-time security camera footage to detect suspicious activities.
While the ministry of security has said the new unit will help to “detect potential threats, identify movements of criminal groups or anticipate disturbances”, the Minority Report-esque resolution has sent alarm bells ringing among human rights organisations.

If you have any questions or comments about me, you can make a post to LW Support lemmy community.The Guardian is "mixed" and yet Times of Israel is "high" for factual reporting. MBFC is trash.
Disappointing. Any reason to believe this might be a mistake or an outlier? I was just starting to seriously consider adding mbfc to the usual set of tools I depend on online.
I don't have evidence of this but I believe the owner/operator of the site is pro Israel and this bleeds through into the ratings, which are not produced in any objective or repeatable fashion. It says Times of Israel has not failed any fact checks, but it clearly doesn't investigate this in a systematic way. I personally reported one particularly egregious and obviously false headline some months back and never heard anything.
It lists the fact checks the Guardian failed (totally fair), but overall I would say most similar websites rank them highly for factual content and for good reason.
For stuff unrelated to Israel I think MBFC is pretty solid if a little unclear and opaque in it's approach.
just block that not it has dubious ratings and is honestly an eye sore.
Honestly, I'm blocking it simply because I'm tired of opening a thread thinking there's a seed of discussion, and it's just MBFC bot. Will probably do the same with AutoTLDR. This isn't working; comments might be the wrong interface for this.
I swear yesterday it said The Guardian was "very high" or maybe I just was 🤔
