AI Generated

A high school student was mistakenly reported to police by an AI gun detection system for holding a bag of Doritos, leading to a dramatic response with eight police cars. The student, Taki Allen, was handcuffed and ordered to the ground before the error was realized. The AI system, Omnilert, did not comment on the incident, but it is designed to detect guns in a three-step process. The school and Omnilert have offered counseling to the students involved in the traumatic incident.
