Teen arrested for holding potato chips, AI system mistook it for a gun

An artificial intelligence detector led police to believe a person was armed with a weapon at a Baltimore County school — when it turns out, they had a bag of chips.
Taki Allen was sitting with friends Monday night outside Kenwood High School, eating a bag of chips after football practice. About 20 minutes later, police officers showed up with guns, walking toward Allen.
"It was like eight cop cars that came pulling up for us. At first, I didn't know where they were going until they started walking toward me with guns, talking about, 'Get on the ground,' and I was like, 'What?'" Allen told WBAL-TV 11 News.
Allen said police told him an AI detector thought his bag of chips — which he crumpled and placed in his pocket when he was finished — was a weapon.
"They made me get on my knees, put my hands behind my back, and cuffed me. Then, they searched me and they figured out I had nothing," Allen told WBAL-TV 11 News. "Then, they went over to where I was standing and found a bag of chips on the floor."
Police showed Allen the picture that triggered the AI detector.
"I was just holding a Doritos bag — it was two hands and one finger out, and they said it looked like a gun," Allen told WBAL-TV 11 News.
