Another hospital in Nova Scotia will soon have Artificial Intelligence (AI) detect for weapons.
Nova Scotia Health says as of March 9, Aberdeen Hospital in New Glasgow will be using the technology.
It is one of 12 hospitals across the province from Yarmouth to Cape Breton that will receive the new measures that started rolling out last year to help beef up security.
You can expect AI at the main entrance (facing East River Road) as well as the emergency department entrance, with no other access available into the hospital.
Any item that is classified as a weapon, resembles a weapon or can be used as a weapon, will not be allowed inside.
To prepare, the health authority suggests arriving up to 15 minutes early, avoid bringing anything you don’t need such as backpacks, have your belongings ready and be respectful.
