Former Navy SEALs use artificial intelligence to protect people from potential shootings

By Movieguide® Contributor

A new company founded by former Navy SEALs is using the power of AI to protect public spaces like churches and schools from potential shootings.

“We are a team of military veterans who are passionate about protecting our country,” their website reader. “As veterans and parents, ZeroEyes’ co-founders were compelled to develop a proactive solution to keep people safe after seeing and hearing about mass shootings taking place in schools and other public places and the impact they have on our society. “

They continued: “With over 50 years of collective military experience, we provide military-grade intelligence surveillance to facilities such as schools, commercial buildings and defense sites.”

ZeroEyes co-founder Rob Huberty spoke to CBN about the company’s technology, explains“We take your existing video cameras and we process every frame-by-frame, every image, every video feed that you have. We use our AI that goes over them and what it does is it looks for weapons, that is exposed.”

“We don’t see ourselves as the total solution, but as a layer that makes sense,” he continued. “There’s no facial recognition, there’s no predictive analysis, we’re just looking for an object, which is a gun.”

ZeroEyes’ system has already been put in place in many public spaces, including Temple University.

“We are very excited about ZeroEyes’ ability to provide rapid detection and intelligence involving brandished weapons on our campus,” Jennifer Griffin, Temple’s police chief and vice president of public safety, said in a statement. “ZeroEyes is another piece of technology we’ve implemented that not only makes the Temple community safer, but also makes the city safer. There’s no doubt about it: Philadelphia and Temple have a growing partnership in security, and we’re proud to be a part of it.”

Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes, said, “We commend Temple University for being a pioneer in security here on the East Coast. We look forward to working closely with staff to ensure that students and faculty feel safe and protected from gun-related violence.”

California’s Valley Baptist Church is also preparing to roll out ZeroEyes’ technology.

“People want to do us harm, and when I say us, I mean, men and women, the Christian faith … because we live in a broken world,” the church’s security director, Matt Montana, told CBN. “There’s a lot of sin out there, and innocence has been traded.”

He continued, “What we’re doing here can in itself deter someone who has thoughts of harming the people of Valley Baptist Church.”
