Kansas considers $5M grant for AI-equipped surveillance cameras detecting gun-carriers in schools.

Kansas is considering a $5 million grant program for schools to fund AI-equipped surveillance cameras that detect gun-carrying individuals. The proposed legislation requires AI software to be patented, designated as qualified anti-terrorism tech, and meet security industry standards. Currently, only one company, ZeroEyes, fulfills these criteria. Critics argue this technology may divert funding from other important school safety measures.
