Hey Philly folks --- SEPTA is doing a pilot of a system supposedly uses "AI" to call the cops when the "AI" detects a gun.

This is terrifying. What kind of civil oversight do you all have going on out there?

@emilymbender oh dear… so, they really expect a bloody AI to “detect” a gun?? already there are plenty of empirical facts that AI does really damages the society, particularly those from vulnerable conditions, in most spheres: education, emplyment, “crime prediction”, public services and welfare, etc.; and despite this more support is given to some hypothetical tests!! #abolishAI
