Still, the technology has its weaknesses. Kim said the system carries a hallucination rate of about 15 percent, including instances where it misidentifies an object as a person, which is why human judgment remains the final call.
The AI only flagged the people (or the objects it misidentified as people), but the human still decides whether those people are worth checking on. I think it still the human’s fault if a lot of innocent people get harrassed by the police.

The Japanese government had allocated 3.4 billion yen (around 21 million US dollars) for “bear countermeasures” in 2025. They also had already deployed soldiers to put traps and allowed the police to shoot and kill bears when necessary.
Plot twist, it was actually a Boston accent.
