Tech company boasts its AI can predict crime with social media policing while fighting Meta in court

FOX News

Haywood Talcove, CEO of LexisNexis Risk Solutions' government group, tells Fox News Digital that criminal groups, mostly in other countries, are advertising on social media to market their AI capabilities for fraud and other crimes. A tech company that boasts about its ability to use artificial intelligence to predict crime is in the midst of a privacy lawsuit with Meta, formerly Facebook, that wants it banned from the social media platform. The New York City and Los Angeles police departments, two of the U.S.'s largest police agencies, are among a growing list of law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and around the world to contract with Voyager Labs. In 2018, the New York Police Department agreed to a nearly $9 million deal with Voyager Labs, which claims it can use AI to predict crimes, according to documents obtained by the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (STOP), The Guardian reported. The company bills itself as a "world leader" in AI-based analytics investigations that can comb through mounds of information from all corners of the internet – including social media and the dark web – to provide insight, uncover potential risks and predict future crimes.
