Michigan high school to deploy AI system to detect guns in real time - and alert security in seconds

A high school in Michigan is the first private school in the state to use artificial intelligence to detect guns as part of its security system - amid the country's epidemic of school shootings. Lansing Catholic High School is using state funds to pay for a video analytics platform from a company called ZeroEyes that builds AI systems. ZeroEyes' technology is layered onto the school's existing video security equipment. AI and computer vision then work in concert with existing 3D satellite maps of a building - so that when a gun is seen, the exact location lights up to let officials know where the shooter is located. The real-time AI alert system is meant to prevent gun violence.
