About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of carceral AI technologies on the criminal punishment system and society, analyzing Sarah Fathallah's piece on predictive policing.

The role and impact of carceral AI technologies in our criminal punishment system and on our society is significant, outrageous, and dangerous. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the piece “Precrime Is No Longer Science Fiction” by Sarah Fathallah in Inquest, which highlights and analyzes the dangerous impact of biometric technologies to predict the likelihood of crime and criminality and expand the reach of the carceral state and criminal punishment system, and what we learn and take away from this incredible piece in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation. (This is our second episode this year discussing Inquest’s Carceral AI series . Check out our first episode “Carceral AI and the Police State” wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.)
