Crime vs Crimer

What do you use to fight crime? How about an advanced AI tool
called Crimer?


A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) is one of those terms that can
send chills up your spine and make you think of a creepy
futuristic, science fiction film. But A.I is not the future, and
it's not fiction. It’s here. 


Lex Adams is the founder of Crimer, a software company that uses
AI and analytics to predict patterns of a crime, to stop it crime
BEFORE it's committed. 


Alex and some of his computer science buddies created Crimer in
2018 while they were still students at LSU. In a short time
they've gotten a lot of attention with their software, which
pulls data from a variety of sources, feeds it into an A.I.
system, then it spits information predicting where crime will
happen.


Crimer's software has implications beyond crime. Crimer can be
used to help emergency responders be prepared to deploy to areas
that could become hot spots, and there are also potential
applications for real estate investors!
