Multiple police cars showed up to a school after surveillance system monitored by AI flagged a bag of Doritos as a gun: 'AI is not the best'

AI is slowly making its way into every facet of life, and that means more and more fields are being manned by machines that can't be held accountable. In many cases, AI going wrong is normally confined to a poor Google search or bad Photoshop, but on October 20, police showed up armed at a high school as a result of an AI miscalculation.

As reported by WMAR 2 News, multiple police cars showed up to a high school in Baltimore County, Maryland, to apprehend a student who AI flagged as having a gun (bodycam footage from ABC 7 Chicago).
