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.
When we put a machine that has an unnaceptable error rate, decide who is guilty automatically, and then there is no longer human accountability in that system.
It will soon be ON YOU to know if you are innocent or not, and to shoot back if the death squad was sent after you in error.
