As a good example, the two seemingly useful use cases (identifying an expelled student or a trespasser) could use this technology if deployed on the entrances and exits to a building. The more cameras you install, though, the more of a chance you’ll encounter a situation where mission creep occurs.
Cameras deployed all throughout schools with AI watching will inevitably lead to errors in misidentification, capture of information that isn’t pertinent, or misuse. At best the system errors too much, occasionally acting as a useful system to stop known trespassers. At worst, you send the police chasing down the wrong person, or you accidentally record something you wish you didn’t and the video is leaked.
I’m not quite sure how deployment of this system would lead to intended results, like stopping school shooters. It reminds me a lot of the Brussels airport that suggested having human “fire spotters” strategically stationed around the building as a substitute for a working and functional fire alarm system.
