AI confuses chips for gun
An AI-driven gun detection system at a high school in the US triggered a heavy police response after misidentifying a student's empty bag of chips as a firearm.
According to a CNN report, Taki Allen, a football player, described being forced to kneel and have his hands cuffed behind his back with a gun pointed at him — all because he was holding a Doritos bag.
The school district's security department canceled the gun detection alert after confirming there was no weapon. Local councilman also called for a review of the use of the AI system "to make sure...this type of error does not happen again."
