In a recent demonstration of its cutting-edge technology, Volt.ai showed ABC affiliate WJLA how its AI-driven systems can significantly enhance security and prevent potential threats. The spotlight on Volt.ai comes in the wake of a tragic shooting at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania, highlighting the urgent need for advanced security measures.

Protecting People with AI Security

Located in Bethesda, Volt AI is on a mission to protect people by leveraging the power of artificial intelligence. The company's technology is designed to track and identify threats in real-time, offering a proactive solution to ensure safety in various environments, from political rallies to schools and offices.

Real-Time Threat Detection

Imagine a gunman targeting unsuspecting victims inside an office. In such scenarios, Volt.ai's technology can track the assailant's every move, providing crucial real-time data to security personnel. This level of monitoring and threat detection could make a significant difference at events like political rallies.

"Our system could have caught the person walking in with a gun from far away,"

Mobile Security Solutions

One of the challenges in deploying such advanced security systems at mobile events is the need for flexible and temporary setups. Volt.ai is addressing this by developing mobile security cameras that can be mounted on tripods or temporarily attached to buildings. "For us, our system would actually work today," Sokolowski emphasizes, showcasing the readiness and adaptability of their technology.

Born from Tragedy

The inspiration behind Volt.ai's innovative solutions stems from a personal experience of its founders. Sokolowski and his co-founder were working at YouTube's headquarters on the day a shooter opened fire, injuring four people. This tragedy fueled their determination to create a technology that could prevent such incidents in the future.

Comprehensive Monitoring Capabilities

Volt.ai's technology goes beyond just identifying weapons. It can detect fights, monitor individuals in medical distress, and even track a person of interest's movements through a mapping feature. This continuous tracking ensures that even if a weapon is ditched or hidden, the individual can still be monitored. "We will continuously track him," Sokolowski explains, emphasizing the comprehensive nature of their system.

Expanding Reach and Applications

While Volt.ai is not currently working with the Secret Service, its technology is already being implemented in schools and offices across the country. The company is in talks with several local school districts to further enhance the safety of schools in the DC metro area.

Volt.ai is revolutionizing the way we approach security, providing advanced AI solutions that offer real-time threat detection and comprehensive monitoring. As the need for enhanced security measures grows, Volt.ai's technology stands out as a crucial tool in protecting people and preventing tragedies. By integrating AI into security systems, Volt.ai is not only making environments safer but also paving the way for a future where advanced technology plays a pivotal role in safeguarding our communities.
