Biometric Update examines the controversial use of AI-based predictive policing technologies designed to anticipate criminal behavior before it occurs. These systems analyze biometric, behavioral, and location data to assign risk scores, which some law enforcement agencies are piloting globally.

Critics argue that such technologies threaten civil liberties, promote bias, and undermine due process. Legal scholars warn that without strict safeguards, predictive policing tools could reinforce structural discrimination and criminalize vulnerable populations based on probabilities.

The article calls for legal moratoriums and stronger regulation on AI in criminal justice settings.
