At the recent Miami Grand Prix, while the spotlight shone on Lando Norris's victory, behind the scenes, AI technology was at work ensuring safety. ZeroEyes, an AI-powered gun detection system, was deployed as part of the security measures. Partnered with Wireless Guardian, the system scanned the event's 275,000 attendees, promptly alerting authorities upon spotting a firearm.
ZeroEyes' system is the brainchild of former Navy SEALs, born out of the tragedy of the Parkland shooting. Trained on a vast database of images, it analyzes camera feeds, flagging any potential firearms. Sam Alaimo, ZeroEyes co-founder, emphasizes the system's speed and accuracy, stating, “The whole process can be completed in three to five seconds.”
Initially deployed in schools, ZeroEyes has expanded its reach to various sectors across 40 states and internationally. Despite requests, the company remains focused on firearms detection, steering clear of facial recognition or biometric data storage, ensuring privacy.
With successful deployment at the Miami Grand Prix, the potential for AI-powered security measures in major events like the FIFA World Cup becomes evident. Alaimo highlights the need for further exploration into integrating such systems seamlessly into large-scale event security protocols.
Partnered with ZeroEyes, Wireless Guardian provides sensor-based solutions to detect potential threats in both large-scale and confined environments. Their technology offers real-time alerts, enabling security personnel to address potential threats promptly.
The collaboration between ZeroEyes and Wireless Guardian exemplifies the synergy between AI technology and sensor-based solutions in ensuring public safety. As technology continues to evolve, such partnerships pave the way for more effective security measures in diverse settings.
