In only 21 weeks before the 2018's, the United States there are more than 23 school shootings since lead to death or injury. Gun violence around the event may be ebbing, but once there, the result is often tragic.
Lisa Falzone and Chris Ciabarra think AI can play a key role in the prevention of mass shootings. They co-founded the Athena Security, which is a development machine learning layer for retailers, businesses and school security camera start-up companies.
"These school shootings makes us feel very uneasy .Falzone said in a telephone interview that modern technology should not lead to so many deaths." Chris and I asked myself, if we can help save the lives of students, we would not not wholeheartedly into this ...... this is the time in Las Vegas shooting, when we realize that we can use our cloud, create an AI systems expertise. "
Their solution uses Nvidia 2080 RTX graphics and computer vision to detect Falzone so-called "dangerous objects", in particular firearms, future versions will also find tools. AI intake system from the security camera lens at a rate of 30 frames per second looking for "dangerous actions" to alert school administrators (or police) when a threat is detected by the application.
In this regard, it Rekognition Amazon or IBM's Watson visual recognition service is no different, but Falzone claimed that these algorithms to predict more accurately than the threat of a broad spectrum of API. In some cases it is also more expensive: Athena mixed processing model, a lot of reasoning in the interior, making it possible to connect with third-party systems to lock the door, stop the elevator, to communicate with people on-site.
Of course, no system is perfect, so I asked if there is anything Falzone false positives will occur. She explained that the notification system scheduling with the "true or false" selector, you can easily mark error, and each flag will be fed back into the system and improve its accuracy.
Falzone and Ciabarra also stated that it will not carry out any form of facial recognition, and delete all data immediately after the analysis. This privacy-first approach has won the first customer of Athena, located Archbishop Wood High School in Warminster, Pennsylvania, last week, with the company to try the system.
"In addition to providing quality education, but we have the responsibility and the responsibility to ensure the safety of students," says school principal Gary Zimmaro. "Only in 2018 will have 246 large-scale shootings, Athena Security has greatly eased the fears of parents."
Athena Security operations to a subscription model. Today launched the product in three versions: $ 100 per month Unlimited layers, with all AI features, Enterprise Edition 50 dollars per month, less functional, as well as $ 20 per month Pro plan, you can detect personnel (in accordance with the camera pricing) .
Athena Security is not the only AI for the safety of school companies. Deep North platform also using computer vision to detect threats and interpret people's actions.
At the same time, companies like Shielded Students want to use the camera, integrated microwave radar scanner and computer vision software to recognize schools firearms and other hidden weapons.
