Levy has developed artificial intelligence designed to instantly spot firearms using existing CCTV networks to instantly alert the police when it recognizes a firearm, sending them a picture, moving footage, and a precise location.

“We have something unique in the way we have learned to detect a weapon. Nobody wants a system where a cell phone is going to trigger an alert, or a banana is going to trigger an alert.”

The company’s name, by the way – 1702ai – was chosen because the first dataset it dealt with had 1,702 images of real knife attacks.
