My kids’ school added a new weapons scanner as kids walk in the door. It’s powered by “AI.” They trust the AI quite a bit.

However, the AI identifies the school issued Lenovo laptops as weapons. So every kid was flagged. Rather than stopping using such a stupid tool, they just have the kids remove their laptops before going through the scanner.

I expect not smart enough people are buying “AI” products and trusting them to do the things they want them to do, but don’t work.

Reading this comment, it sounds to me that you live in a dystopian nightmare.

Many schools are prisons, same as ever.

All pre-secondary schools are designed to control the movements of students. It is one of their fundamental benefits to society.
