The Artificial Intelligence Unit will be made up of police officers and agents from other security forces. Its tasks will include “patrolling open social platforms, applications and websites,” where it will seek to “detect potential threats, identify movements of criminal groups or anticipate disturbances.” It will also be dedicated to “analyzing images from security cameras in real time in order to detect suspicious activities or identify wanted persons using facial recognition.” The resolution also awards it powers worthy of science fiction: “Using machine learning algorithms to analyze historical crime data and thus predict future crimes.” Another purpose will be to discover “suspicious financial transactions or anomalous behavior that could indicate illegal activities.”
The new unit will not only deal with virtual spaces. It will be able to “patrol large areas using drones, provide aerial surveillance and respond to emergencies,” as well as perform “dangerous tasks, such as defusing explosives, using robots.”
A digital policy specialist says, the initiative essentially means “illegal intelligence disguised as the use of ‘modern’ technologies.” Among the implicit risks, that there will be little control and many different security forces with access to the information that’s collected.

Hahaha and this is supposed to be the libertarian/small government guy. There’s always a fascist behind the mask.
My biggest shock is here is people thinking this doesn’t already happen to some extent.
Well it was always going to get to this but I’m pretty disappointed that it isn’t aided by a cybernetically enhanced dolphin.

That’s rich coming from Milei, who is currently being investigated for a blatant crypto scam as well as an old-school corporate bribery scandal.
So much for “anarcho-capitalism”
This is already happening in the world (especially Germany). Thats the exact business proposal for Palantir. NRW, Bavaria , and Baden Würtemberg all already signed contracts with them.
When it doesn’t work, will they cover it up by going full Minority Report?
Here we fucking go. It was NEVER about protecting people, but manipulating them. Somebody needs to do something against this.
Ah, finally the Torment Nexus.
I wonder, if the precrime division gets those swipe screens and a ball dispenser as an alert if it detects something 😆
can’t wait until all crimes being committed in argentina are found to have been committed by people in queer spaces on the internet /s
Thought police coming to a country near you. New Silicon Valley technology doing its job of facilitating fascism
