Developing ‘Artificial Intelligence’ to Predict Social Events

Various events throughout history have changed the fate of countries and determined what kind of future they will have. Although we are currently living in the space age compared to the Ancient Roman period, social events continue to occur in the political and social field. The Congressional Raid in the USA last year was also one of the most memorable political violence events in recent history. Now, in the face of such events, researchers so as not to be caught off guard accelerated its work in the field of ‘artificial intelligence’ technology.

Located at Florida Central University and designed to predict communal violence CoupCast Clayton Besaw, one of the names behind artificial intelligence technology, “We now have more data and more possibilities. Currently from previous much different we can follow a path” used the phrases. Some experts think that artificial intelligence technology will be a useful tool in predicting social events, while others think that it will not always give accurate results.

There are two different views:

Known for his work on predicting social events, Philip Schrodt stated that artificial intelligence technology will be a positive step in this direction with the following words: “This much ‘weather’ can be compared with the forecast. Just like an approaching storm, approaching threats will be able to be observed.” While it is also shared that CoupCast has started to attract more attention in the USA after the events of last year, some experts say that this kind of technology ‘may not hold’ in his opinion.

Jonathan Bellish, director of the programming company One Earth Future, states that although there is a lot of data, it will be extremely difficult to make local and regional forecasts using this data. In addition, experts who believe that Bellish and artificial intelligence technology will not be useful in this direction do not find the ‘weather forecast’ example correct. Because unlike the weather, people recorded changing their ‘tactics’ they can take action from a different point in some way. The fact that people act in this way by adapting to the situation, the machines will collect. historical data as well it kind of makes it useless. In addition, experts state that the machines can perceive ‘peaceful and non-violent’ demonstrations as a social violence event and predict them as a threat.

What are your thoughts on this? Is it possible to predict social violence events with artificial intelligence technology? Or is human nature unpredictable? You can share your thoughts with us in the comments section.
