California school district approves AI surveillance

The Newport-Mesa [California] Unified School District Board of Education approved a new AI-enhanced surveillance system from Everon LLC (formerly ADT Commercial) that includes automated cameras, software that can spot after-hours intruders, read car licence plates, and monitor for signs of emergencies, including gun shots. The system can automatically notify the police, fire, and school authorities and speed the process of reviewing recorded video footage.
