The Artificial Intelligence computers. Why do we need them? Folks at the highest levels of government should really consider the prospects of artificial intelligence programs.
fwiw I've just been re-reading the early Gibson novels, Neuromancer,Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive. These novels describe artifical intelligence programs that in addition to being a benefit to mankind, tend to manipulate mankind. Isn't it weird how science emulates fiction... or does fiction predict science. Whatever.
See link below. It looks like there is an AI that is approaching some sort of reality.
2nd reference; TV series : Person of Interest. This past season finale introduces a new 'super AI' that has just taken over....everything. And its intent seems to be focused on revolutionizing the way humans govern themselves. Could be interesting next season...
re: Minority Report. Scary stuff. And it seems that PKD really did predict an unpleasant future for us with his novel. But 'his' pre-cogs were human beings with over-developed / under-developed brains. but your idea that we can use an AI as precog seems plausible. At least it would in a sci-fi story.
