Artificial intelligence is being used in a Tempe school to prevent any unwanted, potentially dangerous activity and upgrade its preventative safety measures.
school to prevent unwanted, potentially dangerous activity and upgrade its preventative safety measures. "Crowd detection, gun detection, fire detection, all of that's great. But learning how to apply it in the proper areas for the right reasons is how you mitigate risks," says David Ly, chairman and CEO of"It's not about just detecting a gun.
Artificial intelligence looks out for you for a lot of abnormalities. Even before a weapon shows up," Ly said.after its headmaster decided the school needed to upgrade its preventative safety measures."We've never had an incident, knock on wood, at Tempe Prep, but with the proliferation of school incidents around the country, and ever since Columbine, parents are all interested in making sure their students are safe," said the headmaster of the academy Dr. Wayne Porter.The AI is installed by Iveda into security cameras that already exist on campus and gives access and alerts to only a handful of people at the public charter school. The technology can clearly identify a gun, a fire, or even abnormalities like a vehicle circling the parking lot. "If, for example, there is a parent or person that is not supposed to have contact with a child, we can upload their picture and have it tell us if that person is found on campus," Dr. Porter said."It's not piercing into the school, it's piercing at what's coming at our school. I get a lot of 'is this intruding on our children's privacy?' No. I want my schools, I have three kids, I wish that all their schools had this," Ly said."It's that background security that you have in place, knowing that there is something watching your campus while we're trying to do what we're there to do, which is educate students," Dr. Porter said.
