Sure, but could a gun also cause a similar shape within the pocket? My point is that you wouldn’t necessarily want an AI that is designed to detect weapons in this manner to ignore a gun shaped object in a pocket because it might be something that is not a gun. So did the AI actually fail in this case? In my mind, no. Please note, I am not debating here whether these types of detection systems should or shouldn’t be in use here. Personally I am very much against it. No doubt the human element of this story deserves criticism, but the AI? Not in my opinion.
