1. AI​ ​Powered​ ​Systems​ ​Will​ ​Now​ ​Predict​ ​Future
Crimes​ ​of​ ​The​ ​Suspects
As​ ​of​ ​today,​ ​Artificial​ ​Intelligence​ ​has​ ​gone​ ​mainstream​ ​and​ ​it​ ​plays​ ​a​ ​crucial​ ​role​ ​in​ ​our
day-to-day​ ​lives.​ ​As​ ​a​ ​matter​ ​of​ ​fact,​ ​the​ ​very​ ​idea​ ​of​ ​using​ ​Intelligent​ ​systems​ ​to​ ​control
the​ ​human​ ​race​ ​has​ ​long​ ​been​ ​aroused​ ​the​ ​humans.​ ​And​ ​now​ ​with​ ​startling
advancements​ ​in​ ​state-of-the-art​ ​technologies​ ​like​ ​Artificial​ ​Intelligence,​ ​it​ ​very​ ​much
seems​ ​attainable​ ​in​ ​the​ ​near​ ​future.​ ​As​ ​it​ ​turns​ ​out,​ ​the​ ​Durham​ ​police​ ​department​ ​in​ ​the
UK​ ​is​ ​experimenting​ ​on​ ​AI​ ​powered​ ​systems​ ​for​ ​predicting​ ​how​ ​likely​ ​a​ ​suspect​ ​is​ ​to
commit​ ​a​ ​crime​ ​in​ ​the​ ​future​ ​and​ ​of​ ​what​ ​type.​ ​All​ ​these​ ​factors​ ​will​ ​be​ ​taken​ ​into
account​ ​while​ ​releasing​ ​a​ ​suspect​ ​on​ ​bail​ ​or​ ​post​ ​the​ ​completion​ ​of​ ​his/her​ ​jail​ ​term.​ ​It
will​ ​help​ ​them​ ​decide​ ​whether​ ​a​ ​suspect​ ​should​ ​be​ ​kept​ ​in​ ​custody​ ​or​ ​given​ ​a​ ​bail.​ ​As
revealed​ ​by​ ​Independent.co.uk,​ ​Durham​ ​Police​ ​is​ ​training​ ​the​ ​intelligent​ ​systems​ ​to
determine​ ​the​ ​possibility​ ​of​ ​a​ ​suspect​ ​committing​ ​crime​ ​in​ ​the​ ​future​ ​after​ ​being
released.

2. The​ ​intelligent​ ​system​ ​devised​ ​for​ ​this​ ​purpose​ ​is​ ​called​ ​HART​ ​which​ ​is​ ​loosely​ ​an
acronym​ ​for​ ​Harm​ ​Assessment​ ​Risk​ ​Tool.​ ​The​ ​system​ ​is​ ​being​ ​trained​ ​using​ ​Durham
constabulary​ ​data​ ​collected​ ​from​ ​2008​ ​to​ ​2013.​ ​The​ ​HART​ ​will​ ​closely​ ​scrutinize​ ​the
suspect’s​ ​profile​ ​and​ ​will​ ​consider​ ​various​ ​factors​ ​like​ ​the​ ​gender​ ​of​ ​the​ ​suspect,​ ​age​ ​of
the​ ​suspect​ ​and​ ​the​ ​crimes​ ​committed​ ​by​ ​him​ ​in​ ​the​ ​past.​ ​It​ ​will​ ​further​ ​help​ ​the​ ​high
ranking​ ​officers​ ​to​ ​realize​ ​how​ ​risky​ ​it​ ​would​ ​be​ ​to​ ​release​ ​a​ ​suspect​ ​at​ ​any​ ​point​ ​of​ ​time.

Using​ ​HART​ ​To​ ​Consolidate​ ​The​ ​Law
A​ ​major​ ​part​ ​of​ ​the​ ​system​ ​was​ ​developed​ ​at​ ​Cambridge​ ​University​ ​and​ ​it​ ​is​ ​mainly
devised​ ​to​ ​avert​ ​the​ ​release​ ​of​ ​the​ ​potentially​ ​dangerous​ ​prisoners​ ​who​ ​would​ ​otherwise
be​ ​a​ ​risk​ ​to​ ​the​ ​entire​ ​society.​ ​HART​ ​can​ ​also​ ​be​ ​used​ ​to​ ​classify​ ​the​ ​prisoners​ ​on​ ​par
with​ ​their​ ​criminal​ ​record.​ ​For​ ​instance,​ ​it​ ​will​ ​give​ ​a​ ​low,​ ​moderate​ ​or​ ​high-risk​ ​tags​ ​to
various​ ​criminals.​ ​Based​ ​on​ ​these​ ​tags​ ​given​ ​by​ ​HART,​ ​the​ ​police​ ​can​ ​decide​ ​where​ ​to
keep​ ​the​ ​criminal​ ​so​ ​that​ ​there​ ​is​ ​no​ ​potential​ ​risk​ ​of​ ​a​ ​prison​ ​break.​ ​Several​ ​tests​ ​were
conducted​ ​on​ ​the​ ​AI​ ​powered​ ​system​ ​at​ ​Cambridge​ ​University​ ​to​ ​check​ ​its​ ​accuracy​ ​and
the​ ​results​ ​were​ ​mostly​ ​positive.​ ​The​ ​system​ ​was​ ​found​ ​to​ ​be​ ​accurate​ ​98​ ​percent​ ​of​ ​the
time​ ​when​ ​a​ ​low-risk​ ​suspect​ ​was​ ​to​ ​be​ ​scrutinized​ ​and​ ​the​ ​accuracy​ ​was​ ​88​ ​percent
when​ ​it​ ​scrutinized​ ​a​ ​high-risk​ ​criminal.
However,​ ​the​ ​system​ ​identified​ ​Black​ ​suspects​ ​as​ ​high-risk​ ​criminals​ ​more​ ​often​ ​than
the​ ​White​ ​ones.​ ​But​ ​on​ ​further​ ​investigation,​ ​some​ ​results​ ​were​ ​found​ ​to​ ​be​ ​partly
inaccurate.​ ​This​ ​however,​ ​undermines​ ​the​ ​fact​ ​that​ ​the​ ​system​ ​is​ ​ready​ ​to​ ​be​ ​used,​ ​not
for​ ​now​ ​at​ ​least.​ ​Although​ ​the​ ​results​ ​are​ ​mostly​ ​in​ ​favor​ ​of​ ​HART​ ​but​ ​you​ ​can’t​ ​ignore
even​ ​the​ ​slight​ ​possibility​ ​of​ ​a​ ​miscalculation​ ​as​ ​it​ ​may​ ​lead​ ​to​ ​bigger​ ​problems​ ​in​ ​the
future.​ ​The​ ​researchers​ ​say​ ​that​ ​the​ ​erroneous​ ​nature​ ​may​ ​be​ ​due​ ​to​ ​the​ ​bugs
persisting​ ​in​ ​the​ ​AI​ ​algorithm​ ​used​ ​in​ ​HART​ ​and​ ​only​ ​after​ ​dealing​ ​with​ ​all​ ​these
setbacks,​ ​the​ ​system​ ​will​ ​go​ ​mainstream.
