As we all know, AI has seamlessly integrated itself into various aspects of our society, including the identification and prevention of criminal activity. The concept may sound familiar to those who have seen the 2002 science fiction film "Minority Report" starring Tom Cruise, which was based on a short story by Philip K. Dick. It depicts a future where crimes can be foreseen and stopped before they happen. While this may seem like an idealistic idea, it is actually a reality today. Thanks to advanced machine learning technology, there are now numerous companies offering predictive services to courts, such as risk-assessment algorithms that can predict the likelihood of repeat offenses for convicted individuals.
Now, let's push the boundaries even further. A new revolutionary prison idea involves completing entire sentences in mere minutes.

For those involved in the Cognify method, time would be distorted. The process involves connecting incarcerated individuals to machines and saturating their brains with fabricated reminiscences that can simulate years of experience, effectively making them revisit the possible traumas of victims. According to Hashem Al-Ghaili, a biotechnologist and science communicator leading the Dubai-based project, subjects would be given the option of either serving a 10-year prison sentence or receiving memory implants created by AI.
According to Al-Ghaili, synthetic memories are tailored to fit the specific crime and individual characteristics of the perpetrator. This approach, referred to as the "prison of the future," could be applied to a range of offenses including domestic violence, hate crimes, embezzlement, theft, discrimination and other similar acts. In developing these fabricated recollections, the offender's personal background would be taken into consideration.

Al-Ghaili also noted, the use of memories designed to trigger empathy and remorse could benefit violent offenders by allowing them to see their crime from their victim's perspective and experience their pain and suffering firsthand. This concept, known as Cognify, has the potential to revolutionize the criminal justice system by reducing the need for long-term incarceration and its associated expenses.
Following the use of artificial memories and rehabilitation through AI technology, Al-Ghaili asserted that reintegration into society for convicts would occur much quicker, in a matter of days rather than years. However, ethical dilemmas surrounding this technique include the possibility of innocent individuals reliving traumatic events they did not commit, as well as the potential for exploitation and abuse of memory implantation.
