MIT researchers have developed an algorithm that can predict crime rates based on photos. The algorithm analyzes a set of 8 million Google images from eight major U.S. cities with crime rates and McDonald’s locations. The computer consistently outperforms humans on certain tasks, such as predicting the crime rate of a McDonald’s or a hospital. The researchers say they hope to use the algorithm to create a navigation app that avoids high-crime areas in a new way of finding a restaurant in a safe area.”]
