The government of President Javier Milei has created a security-focused artificial intelligence (AI) unit that will use learning algorithms and other technologies to supervise the internet and predict crimes before they happen in Argentina. The unit, created last week, has caught attention in social media due to its similarities with how police act in the 2002 film Minority Report, where crimes can be predicted and criminals judged before committing them. Some of this unit’s functions include analyzing webcam data to find wanted criminals, patrolling large areas with drones, processing obtained big data to find links to crimes, analyzing suspicious social media behaviors, and detecting anomalous financial transactions that might indicate illegal activities.
