Athena Security has developed a camera system that uses artificial intelligence and cloud technology to spot guns and alert authorities.

 
She’s a cutie.
So is (was????) this one. :eek:

Yeah at what point does invasion of my privacy by the .gov and private industry cameras come into play?
 
The implications of this are huge! If they can actually get this to work it will be yet another society-changing technological epiphany because it won't stop with this one behavior.
 
I will open carry everywhere. Sure, Athena, call the cops on me for completely legal behavior. Not sure how many times it will take, but eventually there will be enough events for a harassment suit.

I like the way you're thinking.
 
If this became widespread, we need to figure out what non-gun shapes/gestures trigger it (black flashlight held on top of hand would be my first thought) and just go around setting it off constantly then move on.
 
They better develop an algorithm that watches for cell phones too. ;)

 
Most likely security company will monitor video before police are dispatched.
LivePD last week opened to BOA armed robbery in progress, men with rifles, bank security system sending video real time to police.

A guy on the ham radio this morning said he was going to a credit union and it had a "man trap". You go through one door and it just close (and lock) then metal detectors decide whether or not to unlock the 2nd door. Wonder if the place is conspicuously posted?

More to the point, I wonder if this falls into the realm of false imprisonment?
