Frank Gardner On Risk Profiling

Frank Gardner has written an article about  risk profiling software for the BBC web site. He writes it with respect to terrorism, but buried in the article is this piece.

He says South Korean Customs, which have bought the programme, report a 20% higher detection rate of illegal goods.

That is just good use of data mining software, to identify the source of illegality.

There are so many applications for this type of software, such as in healthcare, road safety, crime, product failures from televisions and vehicles to large projects, that generally all we will see is a much better lifestyle.

Only in a few areas will there be any cause for concern about human rights.
