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.

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

They'll just say that kids getting shot by the cops is worth it to prevent kids shooting each other.
