The Michigan Capitol is implementing artificial intelligence gun detection software called ZeroEyes, which uses surveillance video to analyze for firearms and alert authorities to potential threats. This technology, already deployed in other locations across the country, aims to enhance security measures in response to an "increasingly tumultuous" political climate and pandemic-era protests. The software identifies firearms on the Capitol grounds or inside the building and relays that information to an operations center staffed with former military and law enforcement officers, who assess the situation and dispatch alerts to security teams within seconds. The technology costs about $3,000 a month and is part of a series of security upgrades, including weapons detection devices at entrances and a ban on open carry within the Capitol.
