AI cameras are everywhere -- and people are paying the price for their mistakes

In April 2024, Brandon Upchurch and his cousin were driving home from a convenience store when they noticed flashing lights behind them. When Upchurch pulled over, officers from the Toledo Police Department drew their guns and ordered him out of his red Dodge Ram.

Upchurch initially refused to turn off the engine or exit the truck, and repeatedly asked officers why he was being pulled over. An officer named Adrian Wilson warned that he would deploy his police dog if Upchurch didn't get on the ground. As Upchurch began to get down, Wilson released the animal.

"Your car has a stolen license plate on it," one of the officers said. His plates weren't stolen, Upchurch insisted. He was transported to a hospital for his injuries, then sent to the county jail, where he remained for hours. The charges, which were later dismissed, were obstructing official business and resisting arrest.

Upchurch, it turned out, was right: The license plates weren't stolen, and he was the truck's registered owner.

2. That title made me think it was "our" mistakes instead of the technology's mistake.

AI needs to be shut down in all of the areas where it can damage peoples lives then maybe they can roll it out one day after it has been tested and the idiots who rely on it question it's reliability first instead of jumping the gun.
