We blame AI here but what's up with law enforcment that comes with loaded guns in hand and send someone to the ground and cuff him before actually doing any check?
That is the real issue.
Police force anywhere else in the world that know how to behave would have approched the student, have had a small chat with him, found out all he had in hands was a bag of doritos, maybe would have asked politely to see the content of his bag, explaining the search has been triggered by an autodetection system that may lead to occasional errors and wished him a good day.
Or they'd have looked at whatever images the system had used for its decision and see it was a false positive without having to send anyone over.
>That is the real issue.
No. Trusting AI is clearly the issue.
If there was a 9-1-1 call to the police that there was an active shooter at your kids school, how would you want the police to show up?
