A school district in South Jersey is now using an artificial intelligence system designed to detect weapons and prevent a mass shooting.
Hundreds of security cameras coupled with AI gun detection technology are keeping a close watch over the Glassboro School District. It’s a new integrated system to help stop a potential threat at first sight.
“We want to stay on the forefront of anything we can do to keep our kids and our staff safe,” said Al Lewis, superintendent of Glassboro Public Schools.
Lewis said the district is using ZeroEyes, a video analytics program with artificial intelligence that the company says can detect firearms within view of any camera equipped with its software. ZeroEyes has now teamed up with Singlewire Software, an emergency mass communication system that sends alerts to authorities and across the district.
