AI: Science Fact vs. Science Fiction (Part 3: Predictive Policing) - DZone AI

In the first part of this three-article series about artificial intelligence in science fiction vs. real-life AI, we talked about robots -- both real and as depicted in sci-fi starting in the early 20th century. Then, we visited advanced AI like the mutinous shipboard computer HAL 9000. When does it start getting real? We'll conclude with a brief look at today's robot police and computer-assisted crime prediction. It turns out RoboCop is real...sort of.
