AI might have prevented Boston Marathon bombing, but with risks: former police commissioner

Twitter CEO Elon Musk provides insight on the consequences of developing artificial intelligence and the potential impact on elections. Rapidly developing artificial intelligence technology may have prevented the Boston Marathon bombing, but it might also become law enforcement's newest nightmare. That was the message from Ed Davis, who was Boston's police commissioner during the deadly terrorist attack on April 15, 2013. A decade after that plot that killed three people and injured hundreds, he told Fox News Digital that AI "will ultimately improve investigations and allow many dangerous criminals to be brought to justice." "Use of artificial intelligence systems applied to secret and top-secret databases could very well have prevented the Boston Marathon bombing," he said.
