Concerns over AI surveillance in schools are intensifying after armed officers swarmed a 16-year-old student outside Kenwood High School in Baltimore when an AI gun detection system falsely flagged a Doritos bag as a firearm.
Allen was handcuffed at gunpoint. Police later showed him the AI-captured image that triggered the alert. The crumpled Doritos bag in his pocket had been mistaken for a gun.
I remember when Henrietta police did this with an umbrella. Didn’t even need AI.
You know that vintage meme you’d see hanging on pub walls: “drink coffee! Do stupid things faster and with more energy!”?
I guess ai surveillance is like that but for police ineptitude. Goody!
