Artificial intelligence can be an ally of security in schools

“We are trying to save lives, save response time and prevent mass casualties by implementing weapons recognition technology,” said Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez. “It’s software that will connect to systems and they will be able to recognize these types of threats.”

For example, if there is a school shooter, the system can identify the weapon and tell police where exactly the threat is located on campus. “We are doing a pilotthe test one first. We are making sure the system is accurate,” the sheriff said.

Lopez said he's still researching to see how much everything will cost. He said the school district and police could even share the costs.
