AI surveillance isn't ready for prime time yet


At Kenwood High School in Baltimore County, Maryland, a 16-year-old student was handcuffed at gunpoint after an AI-powered security system misidentified a crumpled bag of Doritos as a firearm.

Within minutes, multiple police vehicles arrived, and officers handcuffed him before realizing there was no weapon.
