Minority Report in Beijing: how can a new Chinese software … – Atlantico.fr

Whether it would have happened if the Communist Party had the ability to predict events in Tiananmen Square in 1989? The face of China would he have been upset?

The Chinese government is putting in place a new tool to prevent the risk of uplift of its people. This software feeds many data accessible on its citizens, their schedules, their hobbies and their lifestyles. It is the first version of a concept called “predictive policing” that enables the deployment of military or police forces to areas where crime is likely to occur. And what interests the highest place on Chinese power: political protests against the government says One Defense

the predictive policing was born in the US but China is fast becoming the leader in this domain. It was in New York in 1994, the police commissioner of the city, Bill Bratton, has introduced for the first time this controversial software, based on crime statistics, to deploy police units in areas where the we thought that crimes were committed. Result, crime has fallen by 37% in just three years.

Wu Manqing, a representative of China Electronics Technology, the company that the Chinese government has chosen to design this predictive policing software, told Bloomberg that its application goes far beyond simply sending policemen in a given location. And the main reason is that the Chinese authorities do not bother principles on respect for privacy and therefore can collect an impressive amount of data on its citizens. Allowing police to gather information very fine, very accurate. The police can then target an individual by monitoring the movement of money out of his bank accounts, view sites visited on the Internet, or check your luxury goods spending, for example. Moreover, the Chinese government plans to deploy its system where ethnic minorities are the most immediate demands.

A massive collection of data

After the spring Arabic in 2011, Chinese leaders have increased spending on internal security of 13%, exceeding military spending. And this year, the Chinese government forced 650 cities to be equipped with surveillance cameras. But the massive data collection inevitably raises questions about the ability to analyze. However, China is becoming the world leader in the use of artificial intelligence for national security purposes. Chinese scientists have recently announced they were working on facial recognition software, compressing data for playback on mobile devices and thus not having to visit a remote database. Which would be a huge gain in speed
