I imagine it could solve crimes if it watched millions of hours of security footage…scary thought. Possibly it could arrest us before we even commit a crime through prediction like that black mirror episode.


Oh, you're thinking of "Hated in the Nation"? More relevant would possibly be "Minority Report" (set in 2054) and Hulu's "Class of '09", in which the FBI starts deploying a crime prediction AI in their version of 2025.

Quite scary. As the meme has it, it seems that we're getting ready to create the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus.
