The title is misleading - or at the least borderline disingenuous: it implies that an "AI algorithm" now can predict individual crimes, whereas the "algorithm" is only able to forecast number and types of some crimes on an aggregate level, in a sufficiently large area (a neighborhood). Which is a far cry from minority report, and essentially nothing new.
The findings about the skew between wealthy and poorer neighborhoods was interesting though, but not entirely surprising.
