What once felt like pure science fiction now sits much closer to reality. As artificial intelligence and predictive policing tools evolve, the idea of forecasting crime before it occurs is no longer confined to the movies &#8211; it&#8217;s becoming a real-world debate. The unsettling question this movie raises hasn&#8217;t changed: what happens when punishment is based on what someone might do, rather than what they have done?<\/p><p>Artificial intelligence (AI) is fast becoming a critical component in helping law enforcement agencies prevent crime by analysing large volumes of complex data. The use of technology to analyse crime statistics and monitor live security camera footage is gradually paving the way towards predictive policing. This allows law enforcement agencies to act on findings rather than reacting to situations.<\/p><p>***************************************<\/p><p>[This is only an extract of an article published in Servamus: August 2026.
