The Modesto Police Department has begun a pilot program utilizing gun-detecting AI software from ZeroEyes, which analyzes video feeds from existing security cameras. This technology identifies potential firearms and alerts law enforcement within seconds. However, to mitigate false alarms, human verification is integral; a team of veterans scrutinizes AI-generated alerts to confirm gun presence. Past experiences have demonstrated that such verification prevents unnecessary police responses to harmless items, ensuring public safety and maintaining trust in the system.
The human element is crucial in verifying AI-selected images to prevent overreaction, as seen when a detected weapon turned out to be a replica airsoft gun.
ZeroEyes aims to reduce false positives by having a human in the loop verify if a detected object is indeed a firearm before dispatching law enforcement.
