Artificial Intelligence continues to evolve in meeting the demands of proactive threat detection. AI may not be perfect, but it’s improving every day, just like an infant learning to crawl, stand, take their first steps, and then eventually run off on their own. Incidents involving guns and other weapons continue to rise, taking a physical and mental toll on our kids, families, and employees.
AI weapons detection can mitigate the risk of a potential threat by detecting a weapon and alerting authorities before the threat escalates by improving response times. In addition to improving response times, weapon detection solutions can be integrated with other security solutions to reduce human error by triggering events such as providing early warning messages, securing doors, and notifying local authorities.
- Enhanced Detection: By using advanced machine learning algorithms, the detection systems are always learning and provide greater accuracy.
- Scalable Solutions: Not only can weapons detection systems work as a standalone solution, but they can be easily integrated with existing security systems and solutions to provide a much higher level of security protection.
- Reduce Human Error: As humans, we can become easily distracted, which increases the probability of an incident occurring. AI weapons detection solutions are consistently assessing potential threats and never need a break.
- Improved Privacy Concerns: AI weapons detection solutions can be trained to focus just on searching for a weapon without infringing on an individual’s right to privacy.
- Various Form Factors and Solutions: As AI technologies advance, so do the available form factors and solutions for detecting weapons and other objects. Today, we can choose from deploying video or sensor-based solutions such as cameras, walkthroughs, drones, robots, and thermal/infrared scanners.
By providing real-time weapons detection, AI is transforming how security professionals develop, implement, and use technology to mitigate security risks and vulnerabilities in schools, businesses, and public spaces.
