   "An artificial intelligence system (AI) apparently mistook a high school student’s bag of Doritos for a firearm and called local police to tell them the pupil was armed." 🤨

     Somehow that went from "it thinks it might be a gun" to the police stating "there was a suspicious person with a gun".

     Like, they don't even see the difference to they?

     let me guess, the child was eating Doritos while Black...

     whoever authorized & installed the use of the AI system should be ticketed & sued for allowing an AI to call the cops on a child for eating Doritos

     and the school system if not the county should sue the expletive out of whoever sold them the AI that can't tell the difference between a child's hands on a bag of chips and a firearm!!!
