Las Vegas School Implementing AI-Based Security System

TL;DR

SparkCognition spokesman Stephen Gold told the Review-Journal the technology integrates with the school’s existing cameras to process information in real time.“At The Adelson School, the security and safety of our students, faculty, and staff is paramount,” Chief of Security & Safety Todd Peters said in a statement to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.“It’s not in the moment.”SparkCognition’s system for schools can, for example, be used for license plate and facial recognition to determine whether vehicles or people have been on campus before.That in itself may not be something that requires action, Gold said, since that likely happens every day when people visit the school.But if the person pulls a weapon out, “at this point, you’d want to escalate.”SparkCognition was founded in 2013 and announced within the last couple of months that it’s moving into the education sector, Gold said, noting that the Adelson Campus is among the early school adopters."
