Covington Principal Arrested After AI-Powered School Surveillance System Falsely Flags Him in Major Security Glitch
In a bizarre twist that has stunned Covington parents and sparked a nationwide debate on automated justice, local principal David Harris was handcuffed this morning after his school's own AI security system—designed to detect threats—mistakenly identified him as a 'high-risk intruder' based on a flawed facial recognition match. The glitch, which authorities say triggered an automatic police alert, comes as schools rush to install predictive algorithms to prevent violence, but experts warn this 'digital witch hunt' could destroy trust in smart safety measures within a decade, leaving educators terrified of being arrested by their own technology.
