FBI & Football Fans

These seem to be the two kinds of people the most likely to want to predict the future, using Artificial Intelligence. First, the FBI has decided to revamp itself -- and all its computer systems in the process. Indeed, I.T. is expected to have the most impact on the reorganisation. The plan is to use AI techniques such as data-mining and statistical analysis to extract key facts from wads and wads of data. This will hopefully help them predict, and counter any 'unexpected' threat on the U.S., such as another terrorist attack.

As for football fans, a couple universities have developed programs that are capable of giving you probabilities on the victory. Then again, probabilities don't really mean much in practice anyway, do they! The Financial Times has the article: Programs Pick Cup Winner. I assume these also use statistical modeling and prediction (using neural networks maybe). No doubt we'll hear more about it if the predictions are successful!
