Does AI Work to Counter Gun Violence?

“You cannot have millions of people watching cameras all over the world. It’s almost impossible. 

[Bemotion president Hussain Abuhassan] points to the Nashville school shooting as an example. The company claims this simulation shows the weapon being detected once the shooter got in and during the time the shooter spent near this hallway. 

“It would have provided the officers the exact location of that shooter.”

Similar AI programs like the one from company ZeroEyes are being used in schools like Florida’s Hernando County School District. The goal would be to get police on the way before a single shot is fired.
