According to a video discovered by Fusion, Microsoft is working on software that currently predict with 91% certainty whether a criminal commit a crime again within 6 months after the analysis.
The video of the speaker Fusion corresponds to a seminar offered by Jeff King, manager at Microsoft where he speaks of the project that has to do with software that predicts human behavior.
The software incorporates data from people l and processed with a complex algorithm, comparing information such as whether you are enrolled in a criminal gang, if they are in a rehabilitation program, had many problems in prison, how many hours spent alone and many other questions that allow you to predict the future.
According to Business Insider, Microsoft said that currently the software is in a testing stage concept and are working with false data, created to test the program.
While this may be good for one part of society, some are not quite agree such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation. One of the lawyers of this entity, Hanni Fakhoury, Fusion told that “ My fear is that these programs are creating an environment where police can appear at the door of anyone at any time for any reason. “
Meanwhile Jay Stanley, an analyst at the American Civil Liberties Union said the following,
” We have to have to think very carefully about what the roles of this technology.
The data for these algorithms need to be open and transparent and the result of what you get with them must be closely examined. “
