There is no question that the advancement of science has been good for humanity as a whole.

Using math to improve the effectiveness of the police is a good thing. This effort - however well intended maybe - would throw out the baby with the bathwater.

If science ultimately kills us all due to climate change or nuclear war or global pandemic or alerting hostile aliens to our presence or (other-crazy-thing-of-nonzero-measure) then I claim that science will not have been good for humanity as a whole. The verdict is unknowable. We comically forgot to run a scientific experiment on the matter.
