The Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools Board (MNPS) has signed a contract with Omnilert worth over $1 million (approximately 160 million yen) in
Chris Smith, the plaintiffs' attorney, said he was skeptical from the moment he first heard the concept of an AI-powered gun detection system. ‘I thought it was complete nonsense. I drive a Tesla, and I think Tesla's self-driving car is nonsense. It's not ready for practical use. Why would we rely on something like that? Is that supposed to be a plan to protect children from school shootings? What's better than a metal detector?’ he said, offering a scathing critique of the AI system.
Furthermore, Smith questioned MNSP's decision to spend $1 million on an AI gun detection system, saying, ‘That money could have been used for other purposes, such as supporting counselors for children in distress. Every decision takes resources away from other uses.’
Smith noted that this is the first time a company providing AI gun detection systems like Omnilert has been sued, and stated, ‘It's important to raise awareness not only of the injured plaintiffs, but of the entire situation.’
