Kansas Considers 5 Million in Grants for AI Powered School Surveillance Systems

Companies like ZeroEyes are capitalizing on the growing market for school security technology, particularly surveillance cameras with AI systems that can detect people carrying guns. Kansas is considering $5 million in grants for schools to install such systems, but the funding is contingent upon the governor's approval and specific criteria, including patented AI software. ZeroEyes, founded by military veterans, is the only company that currently meets these requirements, but critics argue the legislation favors them and may divert funds from other essential school safety measures. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tonyphoang/message
