Holding a black mirror up to artificial intelligence

In 2002, the sci-fi thriller Minority Report gave us a fictionalised glimpse of life in 2054. Initially, the movie evokes a perfect utopian society where artificial intelligence (AI) is blended with surveillance technology for the wellbeing of humanity. The AI supposedly prevents crime using the predictions from three precogs – these psychics visualise murders before they happen and police act on the information. "The precogs are never wrong. But occasionally, they do disagree."
