BRS Labs, the company behind the incredible AISight platform, plans to showcase how its artificial intelligence technology can be utilized to improve safety and security in public schools.
The AISight platform is an advanced software solution that uses artificial intelligence to analyze data generated by sensors and learn to recognize unexpected patterns. The company calls this technology Behavioral Recognition, saying AISight “teaches itself continuously, developing sophisticated, human-like understandings of behaviors within data.” This data can be sourced from a variety of sensors including video surveillance cameras, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, network routers or switches and many other devices. By allowing personnel to monitor thousands of cameras simultaneously and focus on anomalies, the platform is a revolutionary and indispensable enhancement for security systems.
According to the U.S. Department of Education there were 615,600 victims of theft and 749,200 victims of violence among students ages 12-18 in 2012, despite massive efforts to install cameras and otherwise improve safety and security. The public school environment is one of the most important place to have effective monitoring infrastructure in place, but no school system can possibly devote the amount of funding needed to maintain the personnel for such an extensive network. AISight and public schools are thus a perfect match for each other.
“BRS Labs has successfully applied artificial intelligence to Big Data analytics,” said Keith Drummond, executive vice president of sales for BRS Labs. “We are now taking that technology and applying artificial intelligence in transformative new ways, not the least of which is school safety. AISight brings a groundbreaking new dimension to district and campus-wide safety because it gives security personnel the ability to focus on areas where anomalous behavior is taking place, allowing them to react proactively to suspicious behavior.”
BRS Labs will be presenting the educational applications for AISight later this month in Dallas, Texas.
