Statistical Profiling

Totally not the plot of Minority Report.

An analysis of how our justice system might change as technology augments our ability to assess human behavioral patterns more accurately. Let me know what you think in the comments below!

The problem with this is that it could compound positive feed back loops. If you spend most of your resources and time trying to arrest green haired people then you should also expect green haired people to have a higher criminalization rate.

It would take a completely unbiased and uninfluenced system to pull somthing like this off.

You are an awesome Youtuber. Can't wait to see more of your material.

you got me thinking: Almost all of the problems that we are going to face soon (not really problems, but moral and ethical issues that we as a society need to decide on) such as gene editing, big data usage, internet freedom, lack of free will in humans, etc etc. There are so many ethical issues but i just don't see our country thinking about these topics seriously. It feels as though we are blindly accelerating our progress in tech, but not fully understanding the potential negative effects of not considering all the ethical implications of it all...

There's an anime based on this concept, it's called Psycho Pass, cool stuff. By the way, everyone's made it pretty clear but you're going places for sure! Great content, thank you.

I work in field of AI, and I really appreciate this video.

There's a more in depth analysis in the book "Weapons of Math Destruction." (I only read the intro, it's stuck in my backlog).

Just saw your School of Life video. As an undergrad in philosophy, let me say I loved it! And your channel. We need more people publically showing thin philosophy for what it is. Commenting on this video so you'll notice. Also—ever heard of the channel Big Think? I think they push around a lot of psuedo-philosophy, this time under the guise of a Super Scientific point of view which is, just like SOL, very biased and politically charged, not to mention philosophically naïve. Keep up the good work

Why do you only have 8.4k subscribers? This is one of the best channels on yt!

[harshitpandey]

Amazing one!
This was the second video I watched of yours and I couldn't resist subscribing to this channel!

[vintyprod]

You deserve so many more subs. I just binged like all of you videos. They're eye opening. Keep it up!

[npip]

When you bring up a problem that's this philosophical, this important, and that I didn't even know existed, I have to give a sub

[katherinecharlotte]

I'm a fan of your videos! Very thought provoking. I especially liked this one because it took me back to the ole Tom Cruise; Minority Report & how we should handle (potential) crime. Very interesting :)

[Crotsify]

Why would the go to solution be to lock people up if they're profiled to be problematic? We could reach out to them, give them counselling, try to help before anything goes wrong

[thewatcher]

The simple fact that this has become a debate, means that we already lost

[Amara.Jordan]

I love and appreciate that you made this. That you didn't let the lack of a definitive conclusion stop you from posting. You COULD have just foisted your opinion on everyone as fact and be done with it; this is your realm and I've seen people swerve into doing things like that before. So I'm doubly impressed. You didn't take the easy ways out of just not posting or acting like you were any more certain than the rest of us. The amount of honesty that decision shows is really heartening and I appreciate it. Kudos. Another great video with a solid topic. And savage burns to Nickelback fans everywhere. 🤣

[rafaelrincon]

Holy shit, how do you only have 19K subs? Great content!

[SupaSeenSwift]

You're making some really good videos that I think more people should see.

[FreekinEkin]

I think that seeing this as a 'moral' problem is the first issue. Turning to 'morals' and 'moralism' in situations ultimately guided by systematic, economic and hierarchic power structures is a depoliticisation of the problem. The question is not 'do we have a moral obligation to x?' it is 'how can we restructure our political order so that the potential to abuse x is minimised within our power structure?'

thanks for the video, keep up the good work

[jonasloth]

Great vids! Quick, intelligent and creative!

[picsordidnthappen]

Great content; I hope your channel is going to take off.
