A new book explores the emerging field of predictive AI, where machine learning models are trained to forecast future events based on vast datasets. These systems analyze patterns in areas like weather, financial markets, and social trends to generate probabilistic forecasts. The technology raises significant questions about accuracy, bias in training data, and the ethical implications of automating predictions that affect human lives. While proponents highlight potential benefits in fields like disaster preparedness and logistics, critics warn of over-reliance on opaque systems and the risk of creating self-fulfilling prophecies. The review examines both the technical foundations and the broader societal impact of deploying such predictive machinery.
