An AI gun detection system at a Baltimore high school triggered a false alarm, targeting a student holding a snack.
Interesting Engineering: Police drew guns on a student outside a Baltimore County high school after an artificial intelligence system mistook his snack for a firearm.
The incident has raised fresh concerns about the accuracy of AI-powered surveillance tools now being used in schools. more
“Omnilert, the company behind the AI system, declined to comment on internal school procedures.”
Get prepared to write a big ass check. You suck.
Just in, breaking news.

Lincoln University, located about 45 miles southwest of Philadelphia, is one of the nation’s historically Black universities.
Oh wait, never mind.
I hope the lawsuit breaks the bastards, Brad.
Kid needs to sue the company that created the system, the school for buying and using it and the cops for pointing guns at people WITHOUT REASONABLE CAUSE.
…I had a cop draw on me once for carrying a screwdriver while looking like a jewelry store robber from a few blocks over.
It happens.
…the cops were just trying to not be the next Uvalde, where they were paralyzed into inaction as the slaughter continued. They were acting on information and probably, like most people, have a technology bias and trust the machines too much. Given what they were told and the world as it is, I dont think they were entirely unreasonable.
No, you should roast the AI company and its school enablers instead. That shit is not ready for prime time, and too many false alarms will cause complacency when a REAL one occurs…

The AI must’ve thought that the kid was a stoner with a bag of Doritos in his hands. These are the same idiots who seem to think that a Pop tart can be made to look like a gun. Hey ho, AI has got to go! We will all become Dave’s if this keeps up and HAL 9000 will become the perpetual nanny, fink and enforcer of AI law. “FREEDOM” like William Wallace would shout, we don’t want no stinking AI.
Kid’s lucky the stupid cops didn’t shoot him.

“The principal said counselors would offer direct support to Allen and other students who witnessed the incident…”
Great. The AI boondoggle brings in the counselor racket. Just tell the traumatized teens to ask Chat GPT for consolation. My 91 year-old say is always saying, “ I am not part of this world anymore”, and every passing day makes me understand a little better what he means by that.

Another data point showing that it’s going to be a long cold century before AI is accurate and trustworthy.
I’ll wager we all feel like your Dad at times, Thirdtwin.
AI is driving semi-trucks on the highways we share with them. Think about that when you or your wife or your teenager is driving.
