Marc Goodman: A vision of crimes in the future
Marc Goodman imagines the future crime and terrorism challenges we will all face as a result of advancing technologies. He thinks deeply about the disruptive security implications of robotics, artificial intelligence, social data, virtual reality and synthetic biology. Technology, he says, is affording exponentially growing power to non-state actors and rogue players, with significant consequences for our common global security. How to respond to these threats? The crime-fighting solution might just lie in crowdsourcing.

Protecting Future Society from Future Crime by Noboru Nakatani
This presentation focuses on how the technology advancement has opened new possibilities for criminal activity. By providing a few predictions of new forms of crime in the near future, it explains that these ‘unknown unknowns’ in crime especially on cyberspace can cause exponential damages to the safety and security of the future society. As the criminals can abuse the system that we built to protect us online and turn the defense mechanism against us, it conveys a message that we need to do more than just protecting ourselves. In this sense, proactive and smart policing will be key in preventing, detecting and investigating crimes of the future. To this end, we need to “predict the unpredictable” that could lead to the potential worst case scenario. Further to this, modernizing international legal framework could allow the law enforcement to be more efficient in tackling crime in the dynamic global security landscape. Finally, the presentation concludes by explaining the INTERPOL’s role as a global facilitator in supporting its 190 member countries to combat criminality of tomorrow.

The Future of Intrastate Conflict in Africa

Gary Kovacs: Tracking the trackers
As you surf the Web, information is being collected about you. Web tracking is not 100% evil -- personal data can make your browsing more efficient; cookies can help your favorite websites stay in business. But, says Gary Kovacs, it's your right to know what data is being collected about you and how it affects your online life. He unveils a Firefox add-on to do just that.

To See The Future Of Technology, Look At The People Using It For Crime
In this video from our Futurist Forum, Jamais Cascio says that the people hacking a tech to make it serve more shady purposes (or to help them have sex) might be the best window into how it works.

Project 2020 - Scenarios for the Future of Cybercrime

Foresight and Self-Control
Policy-makers are considering large-scale early intervention programs to enhance children’s self-control, with the aim of reducing crime and improving citizens’ health and wealth. Experimental studies and economic analyses are suggesting that such programs could reap benefits for a nation. Yet, how important is childhood self-control for the health, wealth, and public safety of the adult population?

Michael Moore Goes to Norway & Visits a Prison of the Future
Michael Moore also visits a much more civilized conceptualization of what we think of as a 'prison'. Given what we know about human behavior and criminology, prisons in the US and many other countries are a scientific and humanitarian embarrassment.

Cyber War Will Not Take Place, Or Will It? - (Podcast)
For over two decades, cyber experts, politicians, and military leaders have worried about war in the cyber domain, a campaign of destruction wrought via the globe’s networked information technology, infrastructure, and economy. Despite these concerns, however, cyber war has yet to occur, and the concept itself may be distracting from other nefarious online activity.

Are Lie-Detector Kiosks The Future Of Border Security? - (Podcast)
Imagine going to the U.S. border with Mexico, and instead of talking to a border agent, you talk to a machine. It asks you questions like “What’s your full name” and “Are you a citizen of the United States.” All the while, the machine is monitoring different aspects of your behavior: how your eyes are moving, how your voice changes, how you pause between answers, how you fidget. Taking these markers together, the machine – called an Embodied Avatar kiosk – can determine whether or not you’re being truthful. This is the cutting edge of research in deception detection, which remains a surprisingly mysterious field, even though we’ve been building lie detectors for almost a hundred years.
