Predictive Policing: Andreas Sesing at the Filmhaus Saarbrücken
Software predicting when and where a crime is about to be committed: What may sound like a scenario from science fiction in the style of ”Minority Report” has in the meantime become reality in cities such as Chicago, London or Munich. And whether we are dangerous subjects is already being decided by computers these days. […]
EIS at the 20th Fall Academy of the German Foundation for Law and Computer Science
