Head of security at Navy Pier: AI gun detection a success, should be expanded on CTA
CHICAGO -- In the wake of the tragic violence this week on a Chicago Transit Authority train, a deeper dig is warranted into a new artificial intelligence-powered security system just installed on 'L' platforms in a pilot program.The ZeroEyes software, which uses AI to detect guns, has already been in use at Navy Pier for nearly two years. Navy Pier Security Director Dan O'Shea said his office has received 45 alerts for possible guns so far this year.
A total of 13 people were hurt in the chaos, which police said at the time all started when what was reportedly a firecracker was mistaken by a security guard as an active shooter.'We learned from that and tried to better our security protocols moving forward from that day on,' O'Shea said.ZeroEyes was one of those improvements. All the alerts have turned out to be police, armed security, toy or prop guns, or in one case, the Navy Color Guard in action on the pier.
