Jake Fahri, convicted for the tragic murder of 16-year-old Jimmy Mizen in 2008, has been sent back to prison for violating the conditions of his release. Fahri, who served 14 years behind bars, was recently in the spotlight after reports surfaced of his music career under the alias TEN, gaining airplay on BBC 1Xtra.
On May 10, 2008, Fahri, than 19, threw an oven dish at Jimmy during an altercation in a south London bakery. The impact caused a fatal injury,severing an artery in the teenager’s neck. In 2009, Fahri was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 14 years and was eventually released on parole in June 2023.
However, less than 18 months after his release, Fahri’s music—often laced with violent themes—was broadcast on national radio. DJ Theo Johnson referred to him as an “up-and-coming star,” sparking outrage from the mizen family and the public.
Barry Mizen, Jimmy’s father, expressed a mix of sorrow and disbelief. “We’re not gloating or anything, in a way its quite sad,” he told Sky News. The Mizens where reportedly “stunned into silence” upon learning about Fahri’s musical endeavors,which included lyrics seemingly referencing their son’s death.
One of Fahri’s tracks includes the line: “Judge took a look at me, before the trial even started he already knows he’s gonna throw the book at me.” Another song contains disturbing verses: “See a man’s soul fly from his eyes and his breath gone… I wanted more, it made it less wrong. Seeing blood spilled same floor he was left on.”
The BBC has since clarified that Fahri’s music is not part of their playlists and that a track allegedly referencing Jimmy’s death was never aired. A BBC spokesperson stated, “We were not aware of his background and we in no way condone his actions.”
The Probation Service emphasized their commitment to enforcing strict conditions for parolees. “All offenders released on license are subject to strict conditions. As this case shows, we will recall them to prison if they break the rules,” a spokesperson said.
In the wake of their son’s death, Barry and Margaret Mizen established the Mizen Foundation, a charity dedicated to helping young people in London escape the cycle of violence. Reflecting on Fahri’s return to prison, Barry Mizen remarked, “It appears that if he’s been recalled to prison, he must’ve breached his licence conditions. What happens next, we’ve absolutely no idea.”
How can we ensure that AI development and deployment prioritize fairness and inclusivity, mitigating potential biases?
Archyde Exclusive Interview: A Conversation with Dr. Evelyn Carter, Renowned Futurist and AI Ethicist
By [your Name], Archyde News Editor
In today’s rapidly evolving world, the intersection of technology and humanity has become a focal point of global discourse. To shed light on these pressing issues,Archyde sat down with Dr. Evelyn Carter, a leading futurist and AI ethicist, whose groundbreaking work has shaped policies and conversations around artificial intelligence and its societal implications.
Archyde: Dr. Carter,thank you for joining us today. Your work has been instrumental in bridging the gap between technological advancement and ethical considerations. What initially drew you to this field?
Dr. Carter: Thank you for having me. My journey began during my undergraduate studies in philosophy, where I became fascinated by the ethical dilemmas posed by emerging technologies. I realized that while innovation is essential, it must be guided by a moral compass. This led me to pursue a career at the intersection of ethics, technology, and futurism.
Archyde: Your recent book, “The Human Algorithm,” has sparked widespread discussion. Can you share the core message you hope readers take away?
Dr.Carter: Absolutely. At its heart, “The Human Algorithm” is a call to action. It emphasizes that while algorithms and AI systems are designed to optimize efficiency, they must also prioritize human values—empathy, fairness, and inclusivity. The book challenges readers to think critically about how we integrate technology into our lives and institutions.
Archyde: One of the most debated topics today is the role of AI in decision-making, especially in areas like healthcare and criminal justice. What are your thoughts on this?
Dr. Carter: It’s a complex issue. AI has the potential to revolutionize these fields by providing data-driven insights and reducing human bias. However, we must be cautious.Algorithms are only as unbiased as the data they’re trained on, and without proper oversight, they can perpetuate existing inequalities.my stance is that AI should augment human decision-making, not replace it.
Archyde: You’ve been vocal about the need for global collaboration in AI governance. Why is this so critical?
Dr. Carter: technology knows no borders. A breakthrough in one country can have ripple effects worldwide.Without a unified approach to AI governance, we risk creating a fragmented landscape where ethical standards vary drastically. Global collaboration ensures that we uphold shared values and prevent a “race to the bottom” in terms of ethical considerations.
Archyde: Looking ahead, what excites you most about the future of AI?
Dr. Carter: The potential for AI to address some of humanity’s greatest challenges—climate change, disease, and poverty—is incredibly exciting. But what truly inspires me is the growing movement of technologists, ethicists, and policymakers working together to ensure that AI serves the greater good.
Archyde: what advice would you give to young professionals aspiring to enter this field?
Dr.Carter: Stay curious and interdisciplinary. The challenges we face require diverse perspectives and a willingness to learn continuously. And above all, never lose sight of the human element—technology should always serve humanity, not the other way around.
archyde: Thank you, Dr. Carter, for your insights and for reminding us of the importance of ethical innovation.
Dr. Carter: Thank you. It’s been a pleasure.
