Conshohocken’s ZeroEyes, an AI-powered gun detection company, expands to 15 Pennsylvania school districts, writes Donna Rovins for the Reporter.
The expansion follows a $2 million grant from the Pennsylvania Commission of Crime and Delinquency.
“We are deeply honored by the Pennsylvania state Senate’s support of our mission to keep communities safe,” said Mike Lahiff, ZeroEyes CEO and co-founder. The grant will help enhance the company’s technology, expand deployments, and protect more students and staff from potential threats.
Many of the 15 districts are new clients, though their names remain undisclosed. ZeroEyes already works with dozens of school districts across Pennsylvania. The grant funding is allocated for three key areas:
- Technology Advancements: Improving AI algorithms for more accurate firearm detection.
- Capability Expansion: Integrating the platform into 15 school districts.
- Community Outreach: Providing training in collaboration with law enforcement and school security teams.
ZeroEyes‘ AI system integrates with existing security cameras, detecting brandished firearms in real time and sending immediate alerts to law enforcement. Recognized by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the platform is deployed across schools, hospitals, shopping malls, and military bases.
