Crime prevention is boring — crime prediction, upon a alternative hand, is tres exciting! Indeed, we’ve seen the couple of pre-crimeprojects in the past, though very small which existed outward a realm of cockamamie. That is, until you laid eyes upon the brand-new project from DARPA called LAMBASTE (or Suspected Malicious Insider Threat Elimination). This a single essentially seems — brave you say it? — possibly. Details are rough (they’re still in a RFI stages) but radically a thought is to emanate the database of actions which conform to “antagonistic” function; for example, spying. It’s hoped which behaviors can be rescued prior to they lead to an tangible crime, that leads to all sorts of reliable as well as philosophic questions which we quite honestly don’t have a energy to contemplate upon the Friday afternoon. Luckily for all of us, this is DARPA we’re articulate about — so chances are this won’t go anywhere. But if it does? As The Register pleasantly points out, a “e” in LAMBASTE stands for “elimination.” Nice. [Warning: PDF source couple
