Prof. Emily M. Bender(she/her)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?

I propose a test of that system. Everyone should have gun-shaped objects which aren’t guns and see how many false positives they have to follow-up on.
Tree branches kind of shaped like guns, a hot dog falling out of a hot dog bun, holding your fingers in a gun shape pointing at someone while saying “here’s to you, kid”, magazines and newspapers with pictures of actual guns…
The list goes on.
