President Javier Milei creates security unit as some say certain groups may be overly scrutinized by the technology
Argentina’s security forces have announced plans to use artificial intelligence to “predict future crimes” in a move experts have warned could threaten citizens’ rights.
The country’s far-right president Javier Milei this week created the Artificial Intelligence Applied to Security Unit, which the legislation says will use “machine-learning algorithms to analyse historical crime data to predict future crimes”. It is also expected to deploy facial recognition software to identify “wanted persons”, patrol social media, and analyse real-time security camera footage to detect suspicious activities.
While the ministry of security has said the new unit will help to “detect potential threats, identify movements of criminal groups or anticipate disturbances”, the Minority Report-esque resolution has sent alarm bells ringing among human rights organisations.

I've seen this movie...
It's also the entire plot of Person of Interest
Yeah, but Person of Interest turns it around (at least for quite some time) and makes it like the precrime thing is a good idea. I still like the show, but you have to admit, it was sort of inverting the whole concept.
I’ve read this book…
Wow, what are the chances! Our president is also a dick
?
Milei is probably who they're talking about
Phillip is Dick (surname)
Milei is a dick (asshole)
Ah… gracias!
I think the story of Watch_Dogs is even closer to this.
I thought the apple headset was getting close! haha
