ABC News reported on the 12th that many regions in the United States, where shooting incidents are frequent, are planning to install surveillance cameras in schools that can identify people with guns using artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n
According to reports, the state of Kansas is pursuing a plan to allocate $5 million in grants to support schools installing firearm identification surveillance cameras, and all the governors must do is sign the related bill. Only schools that install products that meet the standards set forth by the state of Kansas can receive subsidies, and the only company that meets all the standards is Zero Eyes, which was founded by veterans.<\/p>\n
When this company detects a firearm using an AI system and surveillance cameras, the system transmits the fact to the situation room, where employees with experience working in law enforcement or the military are stationed 24 hours a day. If staff determine that what the AI system propagates is a real threat, they will issue an alert to the school and local authorities. However, controversy is erupting as competitors claim that Kansas’ school support policy is a customized bill to help ‘Zero Eyes’.<\/p>\n
They argue that the standards and specifications for products eligible for subsidies are in fact content that only ‘Zero Eyes’ can meet. ABC News pointed out that school security has become a multibillion-dollar industry following multiple shootings, and that in some states, companies are trying to persuade state legislators to include the products and services they sell in legislation.<\/p>\n
ABC News reported that ‘Zero Eyes’ appears to be the only business that meets the standards set out in similar laws enacted by states including Michigan, Utah, Florida, Iowa, Colorado, Louisiana, and Wisconsin last year and this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
