Artificial intelligence systems that were developed to prepare astronauts for space are now being employed to solve crimes. The Belgian police force believes the tech has the potential to help them more efficiently sift through data and find leads. What do the International Space Station (ISS) and the Belgian police force have in common? If you said integrated approaches to machine learning, you'd be correct! Artificial intelligence (AI) systems that were developed to prepare astronauts for space are now being employed to solve crimes.

Multiple industries across the world are embracing the functionalities of Artificial Intelligence to boost productivity and gain high ROI. Law enforcement officers have also started utilising Artificial Intelligence in solving crimes-- from petty to horrendous. The machine learning models, help the police department to guide through each step without wasting too much time on any wrong process to capture criminals. It boosts productivity to help victims get justice as soon as possible. Jurors consider multiple pieces of evidence captured by Artificial Intelligence to decide the severity of the punishments.

Police departments across the nation are generating leads and making arrests by feeding celebrity photos, CGI renderings, and manipulated images into facial recognition software. Often unbeknownst to the public, law enforcement is identifying suspects based on "all manner of'probe photos,' photos of unknown individuals submitted for search against a police or driver license database," a study published on Thursday by the Georgetown Law Center on Privacy and Technology reported. The new research comes on the heels of a landmark privacy vote on Tuesday in San Francisco, which is now the first US city to ban the use of facial recognition technology by police and government agencies. A recent groundswell of opposition has led to the passage of legislation that aims to protect marginalized communities from spy technology. These systems "threaten to fundamentally change the nature of our public spaces," said Clare Garvie, author of the study and senior associate at the Georgetown Law Center on Privacy and Technology.

What do the International Space Station (ISS) and the Belgian police force have in common? If you said integrated approaches to machine learning, you'd be correct! Artificial intelligence (AI) systems that were developed to prepare astronauts for space are now being employed to solve crimes. European law enforcement agents believe the technology has the potential to help them more efficiently sift through data, recreate crime scenes, and identify leads.

In comparison, people who watched the same shows were able to identify who was responsible 85 per cent of the time. Dr Lea Frermann, lead author of the study, said: 'Pinpointing the perpetrator in a TV show is a very difficult task for computers, but our model performed encouragingly well. 'We hope our findings will aid the development of machines that can take on board – and make sense of – large streams of information in real time.'

Sherlock Holmes is famed for his ability to connect the dots between seemingly unrelated pieces of information. Now scientists have developed an AI system that can match the super-sleuths crime solving capabilities. Valcri scans millions of pieces of data to suggest how and why a crime may have been committed, freeing investigators to work on building their case. Valcri was conceived as a way to provide early warnings of impending criminal activity. But the system can also take on the more routine work of law enforcement agencies.

Debates on the future of artificial intelligence often boil down to questions about whether the technology could help humans -- detecting patterns that could help solve crimes or driving autonomous car, for example -- or become the stuff of dystopian nightmares that have long fueled science fiction. With a $1 billion investment in a non-profit called Open AI, Tesla head Elon Musk and several other prominent tech executives are aiming for the former, while taking a swipe at the latter. The new company will make its patents and research open to the public in a bid to increase transparency about AI's potential rather than focusing on its commercial implications, say its backers -- who include LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, venture capitalist Peter Thiel, the start-up incubator Y-Combinator, and Amazon Web Services. "Since our research is free from financial obligations, we can better focus on a positive human impact," says the group in a statement. "We believe AI should be an extension of individual human wills and, in the spirit of liberty, as broadly and evenly distributed as possible... It's hard to fathom how much human-level AI could benefit society, and it's equally hard to imagine how much it could damage society if built or used incorrectly."
