Now It’s Georgia’s Turn to Waste Money on AI Gun Detection

State lawmakers are back at it, proving once again that when it comes to school safety, the preferred solution is buying technology instead of confronting reality. This time from the state of Georgia. A new proposal moving through the state Capitol, House Bill 1023, would require weapons detection systems at every student point of entry in all Georgia public schools.
