Flock Safety's AI-powered gunshot detection technology implemented in San Jose has been reported to yield a high rate of false positives, incorrectly flagging sounds such as fireworks or cars backfiring as gunfire. Initially, only 50 percent of the detected incidents were confirmed as gunshots. After recalibration, accuracy improved, suggesting that such systems may not be as reliable as claimed. The system's potential to dispatch police to non-threatening situations raises concerns, especially in communities of color, about the risks of unnecessary police confrontations.
