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.
the system “functioned as intended,” […] Baltimore County Public Schools echoed the company’s statement
“We want a system that sends armed cops primed to kill a black student”, says the community elected school board. “We believe that’s what our racist constituents want”, they continued.
It sure looked like a gun in the message, assuming that was the image that was sent out and not a dramatisation.
Also, I think it worked exactly how it was supposed to. It SWATted a person of colour. Par for the course. As it was trained to do.
I think that’s a dramatization, based on the subtitle there
Edit:
This looks fake as fuck lol
I like the date and time, personally. We time travelers now?
That is a marketing image from the gun-identifying software company and isn’t actually related to the article.
The article said he was outside and the crumpled bag of Doritos was hanging out of his pocket. He wasn’t brandishing it like a firearm.
Eating Doritos while black
I wonder how much the student will get in the lawsuit.
0 dollars. Police beat the shit out of students all the time
It’s unjust to force children and Teens to go to schools that use these creepy tools. They must be removed before a student gets killed by cops because of it

It kind of makes sense. Too much of that shit can kill you.
