An AI researcher rates Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report for its AI accuracy. Starring Tom Cruise, Samantha Morton, Kathryn Morris, and Colin Farrell, the 2002 film is based on a story from famed science fiction writer Philip K. Dick about a police unit that utilizes psychic technology to arrest and convict murderers before they commit their crimes, only for their lead chief to go on the run when he becomes accused of committing a crime he has not yet done. Minority Report proved to be a critical and commercial hit, and is considered one of Cruise and Spielberg’s best movies.
Sasha Luccioni, an AI researcher at Hugging Face, a global startup that works on responsible AI, recently sat down with Insider for an extensive breakdown of various AI depictions in media, including Minority Report. She began by addressing the “swarm intelligence” used in the film. The term swarm intelligence is used when multiple robots coordinate together to cover more ground or scan more items, like those of the Spider Robots in the film, which Luccioni says are on the mark.
Next, Luccioni looks at the overall premise of Minority Report in terms of AI accuracy, believing the movie planted a seed in the public’s mind that crime can be accurately predicted, when that is really not the case. According to Luccioni, predictive policing is something being actively worked on and sold to precincts across the world as a way to anticipate crimes before they happen. These programs send robots and police resources to certain areas that have been predicted to be the location of impending crime. But the percentage of accuracy of these programs is actually only about 1% when they’re applied in the real world, according to Luccioni. All in all, the artificial intelligence researcher gave the film a 7/10 for AI accuracy.
What Luccioni’s Minority Report Analysis Means
Luccioni’s assessment reveals that while Minority Report offers an intriguing portrayal of AI, its accuracy is mixed. The depiction of swarm intelligence, where multiple robots collaborate to enhance efficiency, aligns with current AI concepts. And the overall concept of predictive policing is in fact something that’s in development. But, so far, predicting crimes with high precision, as is seen in Minority Report, is not realistic. Even still, 7/10 is a pretty high score for a science fiction film.
Our Take On Luccioni’s AI Analysis Of Minority Report
The AI researcher’s analysis of Minority Report underscores the tension between cinematic imagination and real-world AI capabilities. The Spielberg movie’s depiction of swarm intelligence was ahead of its time, reflecting current advancements in collaborative robotics and distributed systems. However, the film’s portrayal of predictive policing reveals a significant gap between science fiction and reality. Minority Report creatively explores AI concepts but overestimates the feasibility of crime prediction, at least currently.
