Berrien Springs Public Schools in Michigan have introduced a new AI-based gun detection system known as ‘Zero-Eyes,’ aimed at improving safety and response times during potential gun-related incidents.

Dr. Tom Bruce, the district’s superintendent, emphasizes that the system can determine the authenticity of a weapon within seconds, distinguishing real firearms from harmless replicas.
