INTERPOL is building a platform for processing massive amounts of data, including biometrics, to give police around the world predictive analytics, according to Statewatch.
The advanced analytics capability of INSIGHT is part of the project’s second phase. The planned third phase involves drawing on external sources of data, like commercial databases. INSIGHT’s tools will eventually include visual, video, audio recognition, facial and bio-data matching. The U.S. State Department has contributed $12 million to the project.
