LAFONT NICUESA, L., THE PREDICTIVE POLICE BEYOND THE MINORITY REPORT, DIARIO LA LEY, Nº 10687, DOCTRINE SECTION, 19 MARCH 2025

The public prosecutor and doctor in Law offers a detailed analysis of the police prediction systems applied in different countries, describing their basis, functioning and types, which range from cartographic models to those focussed on individual profiles.

Likewise, the text covers the challenges that these tools raise, such as the lack of transparency, the inherent biases of the data used and the insufficient human intervention in their application, pausing in the debate on the evidentiary value of the algorithm in the criminal process and underlining the need for a precise legal framework that regulates their use, in line with the recent European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act.
