CTA’s New AI Gun-Detection Program Shrouded In Secrecy — With No End Date Planned – Block Club Chicago

The CTA didn’t engage in a competitive bidding process for the pilot, and the agency failed to hold an open discussion with its own governing board about the AI gun-detection program. CTA officials have refused to answer questions about key features of the program or their decision to pay the tech firm to launch a pilot with no clear end date. CTA procurement policies allowed President Dorval Carter to authorize the contract without board approval.
