Researchers build AI-powered security systems that predict ********* behavior, claims 82.8% accuracy in predicting felonies with CCTV monitoring

, the South Korean Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) announced that it has developed an AI monitoring system which could be a step towards a real life version of the ********* Report’s “Pre-******” team. The system integrates CCTV footage, ****** statistics, positioning data, and other data to look for signals and predict the chances that a ****** would occur. This technology, called Dejaview, compares current environmental and social patterns and records of past ********* cases to forecast any potential *******.

Dejaview uses two different technologies to predict the chance of a ****** happening in a given area, says

. The first one analyzes historical ********* activity data and correlates it with other factors, for example location and time. If a particular area has multiple reports of ****** happening late at night, the AI system would then mark it as a high-risk location in its ****** heat map, allowing the police department in charge of the area to allocate more officers to deter potential felons.

By giving law enforcement a heat map of the area they cover, they could see potential ****** hotspots in real time through the predictive ****** map (PCM). This allows for better allocation of police officers and for more effective coverage. 

The PCM is made from over 32,656 individual CCTV clips collated over three years from 2018. 

Ultimately this should help the police to be more proactive instead of just reacting to events as they happen. If the data that the AI systems uses is actively updated, then it could track changes as they happen. If there is strong police presence in an area prone to ******, ********** might move to other areas to conduct their illicit activities. But if Dejaview can predict where that will happen, then law enforcement could stop ****** from expanding to other areas.

Using AI to track individuals

However, Dejaview also uses another more controversial technology called ‘individual-centered recidivism prediction’. TechXplore says that it’s strictly only applied to individuals who are considered to be at a high-risk of committing another ******. The AI system would track the movements of these individuals and detect if they have violated their location restrictions (such as those under house arrest or on parole). But more than that, it could also determine if that particular individual deviated from their restrictions due to valid reasons (like work or an emergency). This AI technology could then analyze that person’s behavioral patterns and compute the chances that they will return to their ********* ways.

The researchers have already tested the system with the help of the Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA), and say that the PCM had a ****** prediction performance of 82.8%.
The team aims to develop Dejaview as a safety-related system to be deployed in high-risk areas like airports, energy facilities, national events, and more.

These AI-powered CCTV systems will make it easier for police and law enforcement to not just control ******, but to prevent them from happening in the first place. However, there’s also the risk that this technology could be misused, by governments and organizations. So, there must be safeguards in place before this surveillance system on steroids could be deployed, and only the most trustworthy personnel should be entrusted with its operation.
