McMahon, Liv. “Armed Police Handcuff Teen after AI Mistakes Crisp Packet for Gun in US.” BBC News, BBC, 24 Oct. 2025, www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgjdlx92lylo. This article describes how an AI system mistook a bag of chips for a gun and alerted police, who then arrested the teen. This highlights how, when unchecked, dependence on AI can create issues and lead to bigger issues where people can be harmed or go through potentially traumatic experiences. AI is a useful tool, but a tool that needs to be kept in check and vetted more meticulously. Assuming AI is correct and recklessly implementing it in potentially dangerous situations is unproductive and harmful.
