One Utah native quit his job to work full-time on creating an artificial intelligence gun detection system. 'Omnilert’ can tell the difference between a cell phone, a handgun and a rifle.
“My cousin's daughter was actually killed in the Newtown Connecticut shooting," he said.“I worked for a company that built active protection systems for the military, and we're protecting soldiers from rockets and missiles and things like that," said Green."I just had this thought: why aren't we doing more to protect our kids?”
“Cameras are already placed in schools," said Green."They're very common, and it's a great idea to have, but nobody's looking at them, so all day every day the cameras are there watching what happens, but we only use them to go back in time and see if we can figure out what happened.” “With the AI enabled, we can take one security guard that previously maybe only could have watched four cameras and now he can monitor 1,000," said Green.“It's unfortunate that this technology is needed," he said."Obviously I didn't come up with it as a product that I was excited to sell. It came out of necessity.”
