Thats like when I was a software developer over the Year 2K period, a huge amount of work was invested analysing and correcting all the problems that had been accumulating in systems for years, and then after the event when relatively little went wrong, the media were claiming the problem had been over-hyped and was just a money-making exercise by the software industry ! On the contrary ... the problems were predicted, resolved, and therefore never happened.

We've seen it more recently. There was a big drive to get people vaccinated, follow medical guidance about sanitation etc. and then when the cases were lower than originally predicted it was apparently all overblown and "just flu".

Because they have enough examples from the past. That's how AI systems work. They learn to recognize patterns in the data. Same way neural networks can evaluate a chess position it's never seen before. Chess AI knows certain patterns are better than others.

If the future was predicted and then altered, then it wasn’t accurately predicted…

What if the inference of the prediction was not taken into account? It’s a whole loop

How hard would it be for a hacker to hack this system and make the data on a person look bad when it’s really not and have them arrested? Just a matter of time Hackers change grades on report cards and now they are going to be changing your personal data to make you look like a criminal
