Model: Not assessed
Release: Not assessed
Application developer: ZeroEyes
Role: Not assessed
Configuration: Not assessed
Inputs and outputs: Not assessed
Autonomy: Not assessed
Workflow: A firearm visibly brandished within view of a connected security camera. Human verification at the vendor's operations center before dispatch. Campus police able to reach the location while the person was still present.
Human oversight: Not assessed
Relation to AI: Court documents (as reported) attribute the police response to a ZeroEyes camera notification. Human analysts verify detections before alerts, so the AI's contribution is the initial detection. Both sources are local news citing arrest papers. Neither quantifies response time or states whether anyone else had called police.
