39 mass shootings in 2023 so far, innovations in AI can be used to prevent them from occurring – Here’s how 

There have been 39 mass shootings in which four or more people have been shot so far in 2023. And with Monterey Park shooting and now the Half Moon Bay shooting being our most recent mass casualty events in California. Unfortunately, this number will only rise as the year goes on. 

Thankfully, the technology to prevent these kinds of mass shootings is here and is already being used to prevent these tragedies in certain schools and businesses across the US. But now it’s time to implement it across all of our institutions and public spaces that need it most.

San Jose, CA based tech and AI company, Iterate.ai, has created a “Threat Awareness Technology” that leverages advanced AI image recognition to identify weapons. This technology can be implemented with existing or new cameras, providing almost instant identification reaction times to weapons including guns or knives – even hidden weapons through bags, clothing and walls. 

Iterate’s technology has already been implemented in over 4,500 locations nationwide and internationally, and now it’s time to make this more publicly accessible to schools and places that need it most. Iterate.ai has pledged to make their Threat Awareness technology low to no cost to any school that wants it.
