   I've learned of another case of police being called to a convention in a   
   matter related to an exhibitor using AI. In this case, it was protests   
   that prompted the call, and by one protester's admission, the cop was   
   more reasonable than the protesters. In both cases, there's no   
   indication the exhibitor was violating any rules. There were assertions   
   of plagiarism by the exhibitors, but they lack specifics, and in any   
   case you don't normally handle plagiarism issues by calling the cops.   
   Here's my blog post on both situations:
