I have been thinking about solutions for a few months now. However, there doesn’t seem to be a solution that does not also create other problems (e.g. a system capable of detecting violent crime—or predicting it—is likely to encroach on privacy).

Another thought is that, systems that are/can be designed to recognize intent and predict events are (or would be) used to increase capital/revenue/market-share/etc.

I understand that people want to be both “free” and “safe.” But the conversation and/or conception of the relationship between freedom and security seems to be a zero-sum game.

I’m interested in what others think about this. Is it necessary that we exchange one for the other?
