School districts across the country are turning to AI for safety

School districts nationwide are looking for new ways to protect their staff and students. In Louisiana's Iberville Parish, the district partnered with a software company to stop potential shootings before anyone gets hurt.

Superintendent of Iberville Parish School District Louis Voiron said the district has committed to installing ZeroEyes gun detection artificial intelligence software into the schools' existing cameras.

"There's no way with us having 800 cameras in our school district that one or two people can see what's happening on every single camera in the district," Voiron said.

Voiron said there have been instances of violence in the area and the district's top priority is keeping its students and staff safe. He said the district is on schedule to have the system up and running in January.
