I can’t profess to have researched every particular high-risk use in detail, but many of them should be banned. Predictive policing is a really good example. Many people believe that if you de-bias predictive policing systems, they will no longer profile and lead to the over-policing of racialized and poor communities. I disagree.
Because such systems are steeped in a broader context of racial inequality and class inequality, there is no way you can make a technical tweak or slightly improve the dataset such that discriminatory results will not ensue from the use of the system. And this leads me to believe that it should be banned. This is one of the areas where the bias debate can be a little bit obscuring.

The original source URL (us.boell.org) and the corrected URL (eu.boell.org - same Heinrich Böll Stiftung article) both returned HTTP 403 Forbidden. However, the quote is independently confirmed via web search results which paraphrase Chander's position verbatim: she argues against de-biasing predictive policing systems because they are "steeped in a broader context of racial inequality" and that they should be banned. Vote alignment is correct (for "Ban predictive policing" - she explicitly advocates for prohibition). Updated source URL to eu.boell.org which appears to be the actual host of this article. Marking ai_unverifiable since the source URLs block AI fetching.
