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.

Not a surprise, after all it involves pigs and a racist bullshit machine.
Fun fact: making false police reports / swatting is illegal in most places. Which AI company is going to face criminal charges for putting this poor kids life at risk and traumatizing them?

Sometime soon, it’ll be actual robots sent instead of police officers, I’m sure that’ll go well
