...computers with artificial intelligence will be the precogs.
Hooked up to the NSA computers watching and listening to everyone.

The Artificial Intelligence computers. Why do we need them? Folks at the highest levels of government should really consider the prospects (assets versus liabilities) of artificial intelligence programs.
fwiw I've just been re-reading the early Gibson novels, Neuromancer,Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive. These novels describe artifical intelligence programs that in addition to being a benefit to mankind, tend to manipulate mankind. Isn't it weird how science emulates fiction... or does fiction predict science. Whatever.See link below. It looks like there is an AI that is approaching some sort of reality.
2nd reference; TV series : Person of Interest. This past season finale introduces a new 'super AI' that has just taken over....everything. And its intent seems to be focused on revolutionizing the way humans govern themselves. Could be interesting next season...
re: Minority Report. Scary stuff. And it seems that PKD really did predict an unpleasant future for us with his novel. But 'his' pre-cogs were human beings with over-developed / under-developed brains. but your idea that we can use an AI as precog seems plausible. At least it would in a sci-fi story.

were most decidedly ahead of their times. I still remember reading "Man in a High Castle" by PKD when I was a teenager from the Doubleday science fiction book club. Obviously left a long lasting impression. "Neuromancer" is another classic as far as I'm concerned. Both are scary, both endlessly entertaining.

Steven Hawkings has recently cautioned AGAINST actually constructing a machine intelligence.
Too much is never enough
...my favorite is Virtual Light, maybe because it ends up in the Bay area.
His later stuff had some interesting ideas but the stories sucked.
