But what is the actual implication here? If it's being used to solve crimes then I have no problem with that. The direct issue is that the people who submitted their DNA to a geneolgy website were doing it explicitly for the purpose of knowing more about their family tree. They aren't consenting for their DNA to be used in criminal cases, but it is. The other main issue is it could be used to solve any crime from virtually any modern era.Nothing stopping this technique being used for petty crime, drug use, etc. The other issue is that it could be used to solve things that aren't even crimes. We're not quite here yet, but you can imagine a life insurance company using AI matching software to figure out if you are at a higher risk of certain diseases based on your geneology. The other issue is false positives. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard! |
