A schoolgirl was visited by police in the middle of the night. The visit was triggered by an AI-based program that decided the girl wanted to harm herself.
In the US, high school students are being given artificial intelligence software on their phones that tracks their text messages. The algorithm then analyzes their language. If there is a suspicion that teenagers want to harm themselves, the police are called to their homes. But as it turns out, this program can not only save the lives of schoolchildren from danger, but also lead to chaotic and traumatic consequences.

Internet safety software has become popular in the US to monitor students in their own homes during COVID-19. Many of these systems are designed to flag keywords or phrases to determine if a teenager is planning to harm themselves.
One such app is GoGuardian Beacon, which the developer says helps “protect students from physical harm.”
A 17-year-old schoolgirl in Missouri, USA, was woken up in the middle of the night by police. It turns out that a poem she wrote many years ago had set off alarm bells at the GoGuardian Beacon,writes Futurism.
Schools say such systems sometimes allow for timely intervention before students are in imminent danger. However, legal groups have criticized the technology, arguing that in most cases, law enforcement should not be involved.
For example, the girl's mother described the police visit at night as "one of the worst experiences of her life."
"There are a lot of false alarms," said Ryan West, the police chief in charge of the school where the 17-year-old girl attends, "but if we save one child, it's worth a lot of false alarms."
But how effective such programs are is difficult to say because there is no data on the results.
UPD. “Please die.” The Gemini chatbot began insulting and threatening a student who was using Google’s AI to do his “homework.” We asked experts what it was all about?!
