Mass video surveillance with criminal profiling in real time through artificial intelligence algorithms as a tool for determining “dangerousness” in attention to ultra punitivist tendencies in criminal law

Abstract

In light of the advent of artificial intelligence technologies applied to mass surveillance, we analize the case of its deployment during the coronation of King Charles III of England, in attention to the detection of an advancement of punitive barriers which come about as oppressive, as it is evidenced by a wave of 52 arrests against detractors  to the british Crown, whose acts of protest
were criminalized during the deployment of said technology. It is a need of the present disquisition, to present the posture that the use of mass video surveillance with criminal profiling through artificial intelligence, is being
oriented towards reinforcing the dominance of ultra punitivism in criminal policy, being that its usage is, almost always, marked by the jostling of fundamental rights, with the objective of exercising the ius puniendi in an immoderate fashion and for determining “dangerousness” of the individuals in an arbitrary manner, making use of criteria that are heavily politicized and unpredictable which brushes with persecution. As a conclusion, we point to the necessity of asserting fundamental rights as a gauge for the adequate use of new technologies as tools for the attainment of “citizen security”.
