AI Security System Mistakes Snack for Gun, Triggering Police Response

A serious mishap occurred at a Baltimore County high school when an AI security system mistakenly identified a bag of Doritos as a firearm, leading to an armed police response and the handcuffing of a student. The incident has raised concerns about the reliability of AI detection systems in schools. Although officials cited human error as a contributing factor, the student expressed shock at being targeted by police over something as harmless as a bag of chips. Local leaders are calling for a review of the AI system amid discussions about the implications of such false alarms in school safety protocols.
