The mass shooting at a Catholic church in Minneapolis Wednesday could have been prevented if an AI-powered threat detection tool had been in place, an ex-Israeli special ops agent told Fox News Wednesday.

Discussing his GIDEON platform, founder Aaron Cohen claimed Robin Westmanโ€™s attack on the Annunciation Catholic school that killed two children would have never taken place if law enforcement had been using his predictive policing software.

โ€œI am now about to launch Gideon Americaโ€™s first ever AI threat detection platform built specifically for law enforcement,โ€ Cohen said, adding, โ€œIt scrapes the internet 24-7 using an Israeli grade ontology to pull specific threat language and then routes it to local law enforcement.โ€œ

โ€œItโ€™s a 24-7 detective. It never sleeps and itโ€™s going to get us in front of these attacks,โ€ Cohen added.

Cohen has described GIDEON as the โ€œfirst realtime AI system built to detect threats online before they become attacks. Anonymous networks flagging behavior, predicting danger.โ€

The system will reportedly scan the entire open internet, including, Reddit, Discord, gaming chats, and fringe blogs, searching for key red flags like โ€œgrievance buildup, martyrdom language, tactical planning, school scouting, and extremist indoctrination.โ€

The predictive policing platformโ€™s similarities to Minority Report-style pre-crime threat detection and inherent privacy concerns were not lost on social media users.

Cohenโ€™s mention of โ€œIsraeli-grade ontologyโ€ also sparked alarm, with many questioning whether it would flag song lyrics, or deem anti-Semitic language a threat.
