I was at the house of the mouse and got flagged every time I went through a scanner. Finally, when there wasn't a giant line, I asked the ipad watcher what was flagging, dug through my bag and found my glass case. It was rectangular box, naugahyde over metal, held together by a magnet. I'm not sure what the AI saw, but it was interesting.
Never heard of AI detection until now. I’m going to continue to believe that until someone invents a better human being, Natural Stupidity (NS) will beat AI.
I've seen a version of this in the wild as well. I won't say where or when, but I will say, I was carrying at the time, in a state that does NOT require permits and "No Guns" signs do NOT carry force of law.
The computer flagged the photo, and I could see on the monitor that it circled where my firearm was located. But with the camera angled as it was, my wife's wrist -- with her watch -- was between it and my gun so it appeared at a casual glance that it flagged her watch (which it might have, there's no way to know for sure). I'm not even sure the person manning the "welcome" desk was watching the monitor closely enough to notice (which if the computer habitually flags on random crap, is neither surprising nor reassuring), but they waved us through. No wands, no pat-downs, no concerns.
If other locations treat the systems' warnings with that level of nonchalance, they're worse than useless. Useless because the employees don't always follow-up on warnings (because the warnings are usually crap), worse-than-useless because they provide a sense of security which people will trust but any rational person knows is 100% false.
