Demonstration at Blue Grass Army Depot tests AI security camera tech for potential military use
The Blue Grass Army Depot hosted national defense officials Wednesday to test smart-camera technology meant to better detect active shooters. The depot is the first army base to test the artificial intelligence tool SCYLLA, which immediately detects weapons, faces and “abnormal behavior” like violence. It’s able to be installed on security cameras and drones, and analyzes footage in real time. Chris Willoughby, the depot’s electronic security systems director, says it’s meant to allow a much quicker response to potential threats. “You imagine it picking up a gun 200 feet away from a school, and automatically sending an alert to the cops immediately, and autonomously locking the doors all at the same time and letting everybody know what's going on,” Willoughby said.

Joining us to explain the history of the Electoral College is Carolyn Dupont, an Associate Professor of History at Eastern Kentucky University and author of Distorting Democracy: The Forgotten History of the Electoral College—and Why It Matters Today.
