My sister-in-law is a technical writer and is the documentation lead for one
of the companies who develops these products (Motorola.) These systems do
not work by magic. There is still a laborious database process involved. No
one just types in "look for guys that might cause trouble", as you can
imagine. The input process is extensive to say the least. The strength of
such systems is their speed, not their artificial intelligence. And they are
optimized for a single application. There is quite a long way between this
and a system which could independently recognize any random criteria given.
