It can probably be used to identify potential criminals on the way the pose walk threatening pose. Police can then screen them. Like the movie Minority report.
Do you mean using gait analysis to identify humans and match them to a known criminal database or do you mean finding suspect criminals based on some “criminal” way they walk? If the latter, I don’t think that’s really based on anything more than current cultural profiling.
I mean by tracking criminals cell phones locations, watching how they walk. Checking the network effect ie if a person contacts a previous criminal in the same gang network. Matching photos form surveillance cameras and public social media pictures. Matching walking pose you can pretty much track down criminals.
The power is when you combine the different databases and build a profile of the person. It is very similar to how advertisement companies like Google build up profiles of customers(gmail,search behavior,dns name resolution
tracking,cookie tracking) only in a different field.
It is probably even more powerful when you combine physical behavior with online behavior-
" I don’t think that’s really based on anything more than current cultural profiling."
Yes, but if those individuals were actually more likely to commit crime, the AI would learn those things anyhow, leaving us with the question: if a specific demographic is considerably more likely to commit crime, and the AI picks up on it, is the AI 'racist'? Because racism is a moral judgement, moreover, the intersectionalists would indicate that it also requires the notion of 'power'.
This is not some novel issue I think and will fast become a real ethical dilemma.
that product/service already exists in Japan. No idea how effective it is but the company claims it uses deeplearning to recognize suspicious behavior of retail customers and then alert the staff to check.
Sorry I don't have a link. Saw it on a business news program.
