NYC police have spent millions on a tech company that claims it can use AI to monitor social media and predict future criminals::The New York Police Department paid Voyager Labs more than $8 million in 2018. The company says it uses AI to analyze criminal behavior online.
Do people in NYC think the NYPD is weirdly bloated? I don’t live there but, obviously, I get exposed to NYC’s local news whether I want it or not and the NYPD just seems unaccountable and way more involved in politics and graft than other cities’ police departments.
What is baffling to me is that the people of NYC made a police captain their mayor.
