Artificial Intelligence Can Tell If You're Going To Be A Criminal, Says Study

Artificial intelligence has gone from science-fiction fantasy to imminent component of the future in the space of just a few decades, with many of the fictitious genre's predictions inching closer and closer to reality. One such foreshadowing short story was Philip K. Dick's The Minority Report, which was later made into a feature film directed by Steven Spielberg. In that tale, three mutant beings called "precogs" are able to foretell criminal behavior before it actually happens. The only problem is that they don't always agree, creating an idea about what will happen based on what the "majority report" dictates. Placing faith in their educated guesses, the mutants tell law enforcement what a person will do -- before that person knows themselves.
