In recent years, simulation techniques have been applied to investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of crime. Researchers have instantiated mobile offenders in agent-based simulations for theory testing, experimenting with crime prevention strategies, and exploring crime prediction techniques, despite facing challenges due to the complex dynamics of crime and the lack of detailed information about offender mobility. This paper presents a simulation model to explore offender mobility, focusing on the interplay between the agent's awareness space and activity nodes. The simulation generates patterns of individual mobility aiming to cumulatively match crime patterns. To instantiate a realistic urban environment, we use open data to simulate the urban structure, location-based social networks data to represent activity nodes as a proxy for human activity, and taxi trip data as a proxy for human movement between regions of the city. We analyze and systematically compare 35 different mobility strategies and demonstrate the benefits of using large-scale human activity data to simulate offender mobility. The strategies combining taxi trip data or historic crime data with popular activity nodes perform best compared to other strategies, especially for robbery. Our approach provides a basis for building agent-based crime simulations that infer offender mobility in urban areas from real-world data.

Politicians in New Zealand might want to watch their backs, as they could soon face stiff competition in the form of a virtual bot. 'Sam' is the world's first virtual politician that users can interact with through Facebook Messenger. The AI chatbot is'representing' New Zealand's constituents, and claims to consider everyone's position, without bias, when making decisions. And it may not be long before we see the AI bot in action, as Sam's creator claims that it will be ready to run for office in 2020. 'Sam' is the world's first virtual politician that users can interact with through Facebook Messenger.

As long as this world is moving ahead, the visualization of AI is turning out into a reality at quite a relentless pace. At present, the election candidates are all humans and there is absolutely no involvement of AI in any elections of the world. But, to turn the tables around, New Zealand is all set to launch their first AI politician-Sam in the upcoming elections of 2020. The Veteran politician, called Sam, was created by a 49-year old Entrepreneur- Nick Gerritsen in New Zealand. Under constant learning and with an intention to create something new in this ever running world, scientists developed the world's first AI politician that can answer to any persons queries, policies around housing, local issues education, migration and much more.

World's first artificial intelligence politician, named SAM was created by Nick Gerritsen, a 49 year old entrepreneur in New Zealand.the Gerritsen said: "There is a lot of bias in the'analogue' practice of politics right now." "There seems to be so much existing bias that countries around the world seem unable to address fundamental and multiple complex issues like climate change and equality." It is not legal for AI to contest elections. "SAM is an enabler and we plan to operate within existing legal boundaries,"

Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking have repeatedly expressed their concerns over developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, and even warned that they could soon surpass humans and might one day pose a severe threat to the entire humankind. Their concern may be compounded by recent developments, like when a robot named Sophia was last month confirmed in Saudi Arabia as the world's first robot citizen, and now, we have the world's first AI-powered virtual politician from New Zealand known as SAM. It seems the tech titans were not totally wrong as humans are ready to give AI the power to rule us. The world's first AI politician can reportedly answer a person's queries on local issues regarding education, housing and immigration, PTI reported. The AI politician was created by Nick Gerritsen, who said: "There is a lot of bias in the'analogue' practice of politics right now."

Scientists in New Zealand have developed a robot politician whose "brain" is powered by artificial intelligence. This politician, whose name is SAM, is able to answer a citizen's questions about housing, education, and immigration, NDTV reports. According to NDTV, this AI politician was created by a 49-year-old entrepreneur in New Zealand named Nick Gerritsen. "There is a lot of bias in the'analog' practice of politics right now," said Gerritsen about his new invention."There SAM answers questions via Facebook messenger. "My memory is infinite, so I will never forget or ignore what you tell me.

The AI politician is constantly learning to respond to people through Facebook Messenger as well as a survey on its homepage.

Have you often felt that no matter what you asked politicians, they'd automatically reply with a stock response? Now you can address a real robot that plans on running for office -- or at least, that's what its creators intend. SAM is an AI chatbot'representing' New Zealand's constituents that you can talk with on Facebook Messenger right now. Of course, SAM doesn't currently hold any office -- nor could it likely legally run for one, under current laws -- and her (yes, yer) conversations are still very limited. But she's an experiment to create a representative that listens to people and responds to their questions with facts and policy positions.
