President Javier Milei’s administration has established a new artificial intelligence (AI) unit dedicated to enhancing security in Argentina. This innovative unit, launched last week, employs advanced learning algorithms and various technologies to monitor online activities and anticipate criminal behavior before it occurs. Its inception has sparked considerable discussion on social media, drawing parallels to the police methods showcased in the 2002 film Minority Report, where crimes are forecasted, and offenders are apprehended preemptively.
Among the unit’s capabilities are the analysis of webcam footage to locate wanted individuals, the use of drones for extensive area surveillance, the processing of large datasets to uncover connections to criminal activities, the examination of suspicious behaviors on social media platforms, and the identification of unusual financial transactions that may suggest illicit actions.
