From an earlier thread:

Lots of hype, false positives, and other failures by these systems.

Typical medal detector gate costs like $3000, and each HS needs like 4? How much does this one cost? What’s the advantage AI can bring over traditional ones? It’s ridiculous to have a more advanced weapon detector than airport. I hope some journalist is interested in digging more, especially this procurement doesn’t appear on BOE approval list.

They don’t need all this expensive tech. They need to keep bad kids out of good schools. There were reformed schools a long time ago, and when a boy got into trouble with the law the judge would say “son, it’s the military or jail, your choice.” They came out changed men.

And false positives and failures to detect true positives. This is why they’re not used that much at airports.

Out kids are not Guinea pigs.

They are to Taylor. That's why he bought this without telling you.

Taylor does not have high school aged kids, what are you talking about? Do you mean his former HS?

DP. But his kids will eventually be in high school if they aren't already, won't they? Did families community give input?

My kids graduated, but it's absolutely insane that the public school system will do this much recording of kids, and AI is bound to create problems and misidentify. I can't believe that parents and students aren't up in arms about VOLT AI. If I were a kid I would be organizing student walkouts.

Yes, it's expensive, but I would prefer metal detectors like Jackson-Reed has.

How could anyone be up in arms when Taylor did this without telling anyone.
