      They probably saw it and learned the wrong lesson.

      “We can pull off manipulating precrime to oppress dissent as long as we kept Tom Cruise out!”

      Billionaires and politicians watch and read these stories from the perspective of the antagonist. “Look at the power they are able to wield!”

      maybe the person in charge of the program (let’s call it the Pre-Crime program), is suddenly tagged as the next person to do a crime!! Suddenly he has to get out of the PreCrime facility in Buenos Aires as quickly and quietly as possible. He quickly finds the programmer that designed the PreCrime AI system and learns that the three AI units don’t always agree, and the dissenting AI creates a minority report that is hidden from the records by default.

    I’ve seen and used enough “AI” to know this is a horrible, stupid. ridiculous idea that was pushed by idiots wanting to jump on a hype train.

    I, for one, am glad that AI is no where near able to implement this ability. That said, I’d be worried if they said they implemented it and used it as a way to target political enemies.
