DENVER – Denver International Airport participated in a pilot program to test new security screening technology that uses artificial intelligence.
“It’s very similar to the millimeter wave imaging machines, the body imagers that people at the checkpoint are used to going through except in this case, you don’t have to stop unless there’s some sort of object that’s been detected that requires further investigation,” Jeff Price, Metropolitan State University of Denver Aviation and Aerospace Science Professor said.
Price said in general, most airport security experts view additional screenings as positive, but there’s an industry-wide debate about who’s responsible for implementing the additional screenings regardless of if new technology is used.
