Kansas could soon offer up to $5 million in grants for schools to outfit surveillance cameras with artificial intelligence systems that can spot people carrying guns. But the governor needs to approve the expenditures and the schools must meet some very specific criteria.
The AI software must be patented, “designated as qualified anti-terrorism technology,” in compliance with certain security industry standards, already in use in at least 30 states and capable of detecting “three broad firearm classifications with a minimum of 300 subclassifications” and “at least 2,000 permutations,” among other things.
Only one company currently meets all those criteria: the same organization that touted them to Kansas lawmakers crafting the state budget. That company, ZeroEyes, is a rapidly growing firm founded by military veterans after the fatal shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida.
Anything but tackle the root of the problem.
Communists? Immigrants? Wokeness? Jewish Space Lasers?
The availability of guns and the mental health of the members in our society?
That can’t be it!
Ah yes, the NRA. Totally fighting for the rights of citizens out of the goodness of their hearts.
It’s not like they profit off death or anything like that.
Delta Defense LLC and National Shooting Sports Foundation out fund the NRA 5:1. The power and funding of the NRA has waned over the last decade. Those are the two to look out for now.
“That black boy’s carrying a loaded… errr cell phone. Wait. Too late.”
RIP Black students
I don’t follow
“AI” has a racial bias problem. Basically because the models are trained on biased datasets.
It’s not just bias. Police will straight up lie about what the system outputs
System like these are used as an excuse to arrest Black and Minorities. See ShotSpotter and how police will manually change identifications in the system to gun shoots even though the system clearly flagged it as not. Then they arrest what ever non-white person they find in the area.
Subject is about to pull the trigger with all thirteen of their fingers.
an unequivalent exchange of privacy for personal security
some of these people in power truly just don’t get it huh
like it’s such an easy contradiction to spot,
- you’d think “huh might want to avoid that cause it just costs more money and problems down the line” but here we are I guess
