Argentina will use AI to ‘predict future crimes’

Argentina’s security forces plan to use artificial intelligence to predict future crimes, raising concerns about potential threats to citizens’ rights. President Javier Milei established the Artificial Intelligence Applied to Security Unit, which will use machine-learning algorithms on historical crime data, facial recognition, social media monitoring, and real-time security camera analysis. While the government claims the unit will help detect threats and criminal activities, human rights organizations fear it could lead to excessive surveillance and scrutiny of certain groups. Amnesty International and other groups warn that such measures could infringe on freedom of expression and privacy. Argentina’s recent history of state repression intensifies these concerns. The new unit will operate under existing laws, focusing on using AI and data analytics to identify criminal patterns.
