OK, to save you all a click: he's saying that he's using AI to triage tips, so that they can process all the tips that come in, and that way they've been able to stop two school shootings.
What dogshit journalism. "They claim they've stopped (a few) school shootings" gets shortened to "They've stopped school shootings", so that you'll think J Edgar Boozer is claiming to have stopped all school shootings, and click the article so that they get those sweet ad dollars.
Maybe someone can confirm how they know that those kids were definitely going to shoot up their schools and aren't just suspected of having wanted to do it.
Click avoided. Your work is appreciated.
Can’t prove a negative.
They think they stopped school shootings based on criteria they made up. Unless someone was physically on the way to a school, armed, they didn’t stop anything.
