We’re now living in “Minority Report.” Japan’s National Police are set to embark on a terrifying experiment involving using advanced AI-powered security cameras to pre-empt major crimes. These AI-enhanced cameras will specialize in machine-learning pattern recognition across three distinct categories: behavior detection for spotting suspicious conduct, object detection for identifying weapons, and intrusion detection to safeguard restricted areas.
This initiative is expected to roll out within this fiscal year — ending March 2024 — after the shocking assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the subsequent attempted attack on current Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. Such high-profile crimes, often committed by so-called "lone offenders" — individuals disassociated from society — have prompted Japan’s police to explore crime-prevention strategies.
