Kansas offers AI gun detection grants for schools Add Us On Google Add as a preferred source on Google WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - Kansas schools can now apply for state grants to install artificial intelligence gun detection systems as part of a new $10 million initiative by the Kansas Attorney General.
The state opened applications for the “Safe and Secure Firearm Program,” which would help fund AI gun detection technology in Kansas schools. The program uses technology developed by ZeroEyes, a Philadelphia-based company founded by veterans in response to the 2018 Parkland, Florida school shooting that left 17 dead and 18 injured. ZeroEyes works with school districts’ existing camera systems, using AI to detect the shape of guns.
When the system identifies a potential weapon, an alert is sent to ZeroEyes operation centers in Philadelphia or Hawaii. Human operators at these centers — often veterans or those with emergency management backgrounds — verify the video within seconds. If a gun is confirmed or highly suspected, ZeroEyes sends an alert to the school.
“We watched the Parkland shooting and we saw that there was a shooter who had their gun out and was in front of a camera, and we said, ‘How come no one was watching this camera? ’ And we talked to security guards and they said, ‘Nobody watches any camera,’” said Rob Huberty, co-founder and COO of ZeroEyes. Huberty, a former U.S. Navy SEAL, cofounded the company with other veterans.
Balancing accuracy concerns The technology faces challenges with accuracy. In October, an AI gun detection system at a Baltimore high school mistakenly identified a bag of chips as a gun, leading to a police response with officers drawing weapons. ZeroEyes said that incident did not involve their company but acknowledged the need for balance as the technology improves.
“Ideally you’re giving that information to law enforcement and they’re not escalating to the highest degree possible. They go investigate something and oh, that was nothing. That’s something I’d rather live with as opposed to, ‘Oh, I wasn’t really sure so I didn’t do anything with this information,’” Huberty said.
The number of Kansas schools that have applied for grants remains unknown. Wichita Public Schools Superintendent Kelly Bielefeld said the district is exploring its options while seeking more flexibility in how grant money could be used. Fire at W.
