SILVIS, Ill. (KWQC) - Some students in the Quad-Cities are returning to school this week – and safety is on the minds of parents. George O. Barr Elementary School in Silvis has about 450 students. But this year it’s using a new security technology called ZeroEyes – an artificial intelligence system developed by Navy SEALS. It syncs with the school’s camera system and can spot guns almost anywhere on campus – and it’s more accurate than the human eye. When a gun is detected alerts go out to district administrators and the school resource officer.
