Preventing mass shootings with AI detection: Navy SEALs-inspired invention
CyberGuy explains a new factory in Oregon that can produce 10,000 robots a year. Maine, a state often admired for its serenity and scenic beauty, recently witnessed an unimaginable nightmare. Robert Card, an assault rifle-carrying gun instructor with documented mental troubles, gunned down 18 innocent people. The 40-year-old suspect was found dead two days later after an intense search by law enforcement. As families and communities mourn the loss, an important question is raised: Could alerting the police mere minutes earlier than the first 911 call have changed the outcome?

Florida school district plans to use AI to help detect potential school shooting threats
The'Fox & Friends' co-hosts discussed concerns surrounding artificial intelligence and how it will impact the internet moving forward. A Florida school district is planning to use artificial intelligence to detects guns and potential school shooting threats. Board members with the Hernando County School District voted last week to approve a one-year contract not going over $200,000 with ZeroEyes, a software company, according to FOX 13. ZeroEyes uses school district's security cameras to spot exposed or brandished firearms. The company was founded by Rob Huberty, a former Navy Seal, and claims that its software can alert first responders to a potential threat before someone is able to fire their weapon.
Schools deploy AI technology to protect against active shooters
Fox News correspondent Matt Finn has the latest on the impact of AI technology that some say could outpace humans on'Special Report.' WASHINGTON – While most people look to artificial intelligence, or AI, for quick answers to complex problems, a growing number of school districts are turning to the technology to keep their students and staff safe. A school district in Charles County, Maryland, roughly an hour from Washington D.C., is in the process of installing software and hardware which would allow their current security cameras to detect a potential active shooter. "This artificial intelligence has the ability to be able to identify a weapon, to assess what's going on and how that person is acting," said Jason Stoddard, Director of School safety and Security for Charles County Public Schools. The district, through a state grant, is in the process of installing AI gun detection technology at all of its campuses.

SEPTA to spot guns with new artificial intelligence system
SEPTA will soon begin using an artificial intelligence system that can detect people getting on trains and buses with guns. Why it matters: There's been a dramatic spike in violent crime aboard the public transit system. Driving the news: SEPTA is the U.S.'s first major transit system to test out the AI technology, known as ZeroEyes. It's been deployed by the Pentagon as well as public schools, universities and Fortune 500 companies in more than 30 states, according to a SEPTA statement. How it works: The company behind ZeroEyes was founded by former Navy SEALs who used hundreds of thousands of images and videos to train the AI system.
Michigan high school to deploy AI system to detect guns in real time - and alert security in seconds
A high school in Michigan is the first private school in the state to use artificial intelligence to detect guns as part of its security system - amid the country's epidemic of school shootings. Lansing Catholic High School is using state funds to pay for a video analytics platform from a company called ZeroEyes that builds AI systems. ZeroEyes' technology is layered onto the school's existing video security equipment. AI and computer vision then work in concert with existing 3D satellite maps of a building - so that when a gun is seen, the exact location lights up to let officials know where the shooter is located. The real-time AI alert system is meant to prevent gun violence.

Avoiding Deep Learning AI Bias Part 1
We tend to think of machine and deep learning AI as consistent, logical, and unwavering, but surprisingly, that isn't always the case. Bias is the source of many AI failures. So why, and how, does bias happen in AI models? The simple answer is that bias exists in these models because they're created by humans. Let's take a look at three types of AI bias that can plague AI models – sample bias, measurement bias, and prejudice bias – and how developers can eliminate these biases with more thorough AI model training.
Veterans demonstrate artificial intelligence to stop active shooters before shots are fired
A group of veterans inspired by the need to keep schools and public spaces safer have created a new technology they say can detect guns and send out alerts before shots are ever fired. Active shooter situations have played out across the country – a gunman opened fire inside a Florida high school, shots rang out at a Texas Walmart and multiple people were shot to death in an office building in Virginia Beach. The nation's most recent school shooting happened Thursday morning – when a 16-year-old high school student in Santa Clarita, California, opened fire in the campus quad, shooting five classmates and killing two. What if the gun was detected early – so early, the shooter was never able to get inside to hurt anyone? The technology to do that exists, and only WUSA9 was there when it was tested in Northern Virginia.

Artificial Intelligence Firearm Detection For K-12 Schools and Colleges
By routing your camera feeds to our AI Engine, you can be informed in just 3 seconds when a firearm is detected in surveillance cameras. Additionally, this AI technology can track shooters in real time, providing shooter location(s) and fast live updates to police, school security and educators. In the wake of school shooting incidents over the past 10 years, people are anxious about creating safe environments. The ability to detect weapons on premises is unfortunately a necessity now. Cameras are already in place at most schools.

The technology exists to properly detect firearms in places they just should not be present. Then in less than 3 seconds, notify principals, security, law enforcement and more. All with the ability to notify law enforcement and first responders in 3 seconds with location of the shooter(s) and types of weapons. Generally, our first responders don't have enough situational awareness when they arrive on scene because of a lack of information. Consequently, they walk into unimaginable situations without knowledge of where threats are or how many people are involved. Using existing cameras, this AI can can identify the number of shooters, as well as pinpoint the active shooter's location(s) directly to security, law enforcement and other first responders.
How former Navy SEALs use artificial intelligence to make schools safer Video NJTV News
Dustin is posing as an active shooter armed with an assault rifle. If he thinks he's undetected looking to prey on the unsuspecting, he'd be completely wrong. We've tested a couple different model architectures and we use that over existing security cameras using different types of GPUs to be able to digest those video feeds, run analytics over it looking for a weapon and then sending the alert out," said Mike Lahiff, CEO of ZeroEyes. The alert goes out in a flash to law enforcers and administrators with video of Dustin's movements and location. "Instantly, I would get on my police radio and notify first responders that I have a possible threat on location.
