“The location of the shooter and the firearm meant that the weapon was not visible,” said Omnilert CEO Dave Fraser in an email. “This is not a case of the firearm not being recognized by the system.”

Cameras don’t really work if the perpetrator is around them every day. I guess armed security on premise would help but if it’s only one guy, the shooter will just target him first.

That being said, I bet the school paid a ridiculous amount for what probably amounts to some fairly basic computer vision.

I don’t know who is laughing harder, the guys that sold the system or the NRA whenever they can pivot the blame onto AI instead of the gun cult.
