Gee, if only Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg had made a blockbuster movie about how this was a bad idea.
The Chicago PD made a “heat list” to predict people involved with violent crimes — and instead, it caused them.
Guy gets placed on a list that says he will be "party to gun violence." It doesn't predict whether he will be a shooter or a victim, just that he will be involved.
Police ramp up surveillance around him, follow him, park outside his home. His entire community gets spooked.
People are then convinced he's a snitch working for the police. He gets shot twice.
The algorithm "worked."
