EU funding ‘Orwellian’ artificial intelligence plan to monitor public for “abnormal behaviour”
The European Union is spending millions of pounds developing “Orwellian” technologies designed to scour the internet and CCTV images for “abnormal behaviour”.
Ian Johnston - 19 Sep 2009
A five-year research programme, called Project Indect, aims to develop computer programmes which act as “agents” to monitor and process information from web sites, discussion forums, file servers, peer-to-peer networks and even individual computers.
Its main objectives include the “automatic detection of threats and abnormal behaviour or violence”.
Project Indect, which received nearly £10 million in funding from the European Union, involves the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and computer scientists at York University, in addition to colleagues in nine other European countries.
Shami Chakrabarti, the director of human rights group Liberty, described the introduction of such mass surveillance techniques as a “sinister step” for any country, adding that it was “positively chilling” on a European scale.

I cant fix an error…for some reason I cant access one web page Unfortunately it is one of only 2 pages that I derive my income from. I discovered a problem when one of the coworkers told it was empry
I realized that this happens when people use the Explorer browser (which is the majority). I work with Firefox
There aren’t any unusual items on the page except for text, pics, links to the company websites and paypal. I don’t know where the error is as I have tried to recreate the page and it still happens.
Can someone tell me if they have an idea of what it could be?
