Comment on UK creating ‘murder prediction’ tool to identify people most likely to kill.

gedhrel@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

Data on “hundreds of thousands” of people can’t provide the distinguishing markers to even have a stab at this.

It can reliably predict when people are black, though.

    1/e is about 37%, maybe 1-1/e?
