In the United States in 2023, there were 658 mass shootings, and 42,996 people lost their lives to gun violence. Detecting and rapidly responding to potential and actual shootings in an automated fashion is critical to reducing these tragic figures. In 2020, Omnilert, a pioneer in emergency notification systems, launched Omnilert Gun Detect, an AI-powered platform that combines gun detection, verification, activation of security systems and notification. Chad Green, Omnilert’s Director of Artificial Intelligence, will describe the development of Omnilert Gun Detect. He’ll cover why computer vision is the right solution to this problem, how Omnilert went about building the product and the business and technical challenges they overcame along the way. Chad will also talk about Omnilert’s market traction, and he’ll conclude with lessons learned in building this important system.
