Basically, this police dept is going to face a lawsuit (at least I'm assuming). But most of you have probably already heard: this guy was handcuffed because an AI program thought a bag of Doritos was a gun.
That's funny enough on its own (more like ironic or silly funny, than "ha ha" funny), but how is it relevant to us? Will the FBI, etc rely on AI to conduct their own surveillance? Let's say Darth himself is bringing home some Subway and the AI thinks it's an RPG. Sounds ridiculous, but I'm sure some agent (or informant) will love to be the one snitching on that detail.
