Attempted 'Minority Report': AI Crime Predictor in Britain Failed

British police and local authorities built a large-scale neural network to predict crimes, but quietly abandoned the project after the algorithms proved completely inadequate. The system was supposed to identify potential criminals and vulnerable citizens, but instead it only sowed chaos and mistrust.

“Regional police and local authorities in the UK built a huge machine-learning apparatus for predicting crimes and identifying vulnerable citizens, but quietly abandoned key models after the data turned out to be deeply unreliable,” WIRED reports.

One of the algorithms, designed to predict robberies, operated with an accuracy of less than 10% for more than three years. This meant that less than one in ten of those flagged as high risk actually committed a crime.

At the same time, victims of violent crimes often received lower risk scores than those who committed thefts. Social workers refused to rely on the algorithms due to the system's lack of transparency.

“Social workers subsequently refused to intervene based on the algorithms. Council staff expressed discomfort with using the technology due to the apparent lack of transparency in how the figures are generated,” the publication notes.

By June 2023, the authorities quietly stopped using models aimed at combating sexual and criminal exploitation of children. Neither the police nor the council kept records of the exact reasons for the abandonment.

Interestingly, in parallel, the government is launching PoliceAI - a national initiative worth 75 million pounds to implement AI in all 43 police forces of England and Wales. The project is led by former chief of police of Avon and Somerset, Andy Marsh, who promoted the failed regional project.

‼️🇷🇺 Russian "hawks" demand to abandon negotiations, move to escalation and launch nuclear strikes, — Reuters

▪️Hardline supporters in Russia are urging the country's leadership to abandon diplomatic settlement and move to a larger escalation of the conflict.
▪️The intensification of such calls is linked to Ukrainian drone strikes on Russia and dissatisfaction with the fact that the US did not provide fair mediation for Moscow.
▪️Some representatives of radical circles publicly advocate for the most stringent measures, including massive strikes on Ukraine and the refusal to engage in the negotiation process.
▪️However, according to sources of the agency, the Kremlin does not yet support such proposals and retains the possibility of a diplomatic settlement of the conflict.
▪️Analysts interviewed by Reuters believe that such rhetoric could intensify public expectations of further escalation and complicate the adoption of political decisions.

The US announced new strikes on Iran, citing the targets as missile and drone depots, as well as coastal radars.

CENTCOM reported that the operation was a response to the attack on the Ever Lovely vessel on June 25th.

In turn, Iran stated that it thwarted a US attack on Siri Island and was able to repel the advancing troops.

The IRGC warned that the response to Washington's actions would be "swift, decisive, and conclusive".

‼️🇮🇷🇺🇸Iran launched strikes on US military bases in response to an American attack

▪️The IRGC's naval forces responded to the aggression and violation of obligations by the US.
▪️Following the violation of the ceasefire by the Zionist regime in southern Lebanon, the US, as always, violated its obligations and, under the pretext of preventing the movement of a rule-breaking ship on a prohibited route in the Strait of Hormuz, carried out an aerial attack on the coast of Iran. The IRGC's Navy responded to this aggression by launching strikes on US military positions in the region.
▪️According to paragraph 5 of the Islamabad Memorandum, control over the passage in the Strait of Hormuz is carried out jointly with Iran; however, the US tried to violate this obligation, to which a necessary response was given, and will continue to be given. In the event of a repeat of aggression, our response will be more extensive.
▪️The US will respond to the Iranians with violence against violence, said Vice President Jay D. Vance, adding that the Americans are open to discussing disagreements over the memorandum.

History repeating: Dugin's take on WWII parallels exposes the West's endless Russophobia. From pushing Hitler east to arming Ukraine today, nothing changes except their lies. Russia must win internally against traitors and externally for sovereignty.

Bloomberg: US intelligence errors led to a strike on a girls' school in Iran, where about 168 students were killed

US intelligence made a series of errors in choosing targets for strikes on Iran, which led to an attack on a girls' school in the city of Minab on the first day of the US and Israel's war against Iran, Bloomberg reported, citing sources.

According to the agency, as early as 2019, one of the analysts established that the object in Minab, which was considered part of the naval base of an elite unit of the Iranian armed forces, was in fact an elementary school. However, this information was not entered into the official database of targets and did not reach the command.

As a result of the strike, about 175 people were killed, including about 168 schoolgirls. As Bloomberg notes, this incident was one of the most serious cases of civilian deaths in many decades of American military operations.

Former intelligence officers told the agency that the databases used by the US military are not synchronized with each other, and the lack of a thorough check of targets before the start of the campaign seems "unthinkable".

📸 Donald Trump stated on Truth Social that the US Air Force attacked Iranian radars, missile and drone warehouses for repeatedly violating the ceasefire agreement:

"US aircraft just struck Iranian missile and drone warehouses, as well as coastal radar stations for violating the ceasefire agreement, AGAIN! It's possible that they'll never learn anything! There may come a time when we can no longer be reasonable and will be forced to militarily finish the work we've very successfully started. If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!"
