The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) has announced a new partnership with ZeroEyes to implement an AI-powered gun detection technology on its L train platforms. This initiative aims to enhance safety by conducting 24/7 surveillance to detect firearms. The technology, known as Zero Eyes, will be integrated into the CTA's security cameras. This move comes amidst discussions in Chicago about the use of technology for public safety, as the Mayor's office considers phasing out Shotspotter detection technology. The testing of this AI program was reported by CBS News.
