Fox News correspondent Grady Trimble has the latest on fears the technology will spiral out of control on'Special Report.' Schools and museums are installing artificial intelligence that can detect the presence of guns or other weapons in a bid to thwart potential shootings and other violence. Miami's Frost Museum of Science, as well as school districts in states such as Florida, New York and Illinois, have installed various AI tech to monitor for firearms and other weapons through the locations' security cameras. "The AI system monitors all the cameras," Brooks Weisblat, the Miami museum's vice president for technology, told CBS News. "Every tool helps. You know, anything that we can do to further protect the community and our visitors and our staff."

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.

Security cameras have become valuable tools to identify threats of violence. There's a new development Wednesday that adds artificial intelligence that can detect guns in security video.The new dimension of artificial intelligence, or AI, has the potential to prevent a mass casualty event.RELATED: CA gun sales up amid COVID-19 pandemic fears, study finds"We needed to move away from the thinking that emergency mass notification systems were all about notification, " said David Fraser, CEO of Omnilert.Fraser demonstrated its new Gun Detect technology it claims to be an industry first using AI. Utilizing existing camera networks in a large-scale setting, such as a school or airport or large business campus, algorithms can identify a gun or shotgun. The system first flags the gun in orange as suspicious, then goes to red alert in seconds."They

A new law enforcement team could soon be created in Santa Clara County to help identify and remove firearms from gangsters, felons, or those who are the subject of domestic violence restraining orders.

A group of veterans inspired by the need to keep schools and public spaces safer have created a new technology they say can detect guns and send out alerts before shots are ever fired. Active shooter situations have played out across the country – a gunman opened fire inside a Florida high school, shots rang out at a Texas Walmart and multiple people were shot to death in an office building in Virginia Beach. The nation's most recent school shooting happened Thursday morning – when a 16-year-old high school student in Santa Clarita, California, opened fire in the campus quad, shooting five classmates and killing two. What if the gun was detected early – so early, the shooter was never able to get inside to hurt anyone? The technology to do that exists, and only WUSA9 was there when it was tested in Northern Virginia.

"It'll automatically call police if the administration wants it to. It comes in and you see it and you can click on the video," said Christopher Ciabarra. He's describing a new technology that's based on artificial intelligence. He and Lisa Falcone are the inventors of Athena. They say it's the first A.I. security cameras used to detect guns in schools.
