Roundtables: The Deadly Failures of The Virtual Border Wall

Roundtables: The Deadly Failures of The Virtual Border Wall

AI summary

A MIT Technology Review investigation documented more than a thousand people who died without being detected or intercepted within surveillance-tower coverage along the US southern border. Some were within view of newly installed towers using automatic AI recognition. The US has spent billions of dollars over 25 years building this virtual wall, but its basic promise of safety has repeatedly failed.
