Here’s the dilemma of how you keep the world's entertainment capitals safe for its revelers without turning it into a party-pooping security fortress.

The Pat-Scan:

The Pats scan multi-sensor covert threat detection platform is a next-generation security solution Patriot one believes.

It has the answer using unobtrusive sensors which generate information feeds that can be assessed to see if someone's carrying a weapon.

This Vegas Casino Resort is now rolling out the tech which has been in testing for the past two years we got various bits of hardware.

Here essentially the system can be discreetly placed say in a building entrance or in a turnstile and unlike a metal detector.

The Pat-Scan creates an invisible fence you wouldn't even know was there so if I'm carrying a concealed weapon on my person or worse still intent on an act of violence the system.

If it's deployed as it is here invisibly in these planters can kick in the AI making a determination of whether or not this is benign and alerting the security authorities to take the relevant action.

Works on Several levels:

ThePat scan the device works on several levels one the sensor emits low-power microwave pulses,

Which bounce off objects creating so-called resonance frequency patterns that identify the shape of an object,

Another sensor creates a magnetic field and detects disturbances as an object passes through,

But the real smarts lie in the AI algorithms within seconds they assess the sensor data against that already in Patriots one's database to figure out if weapons are being hidden with daily shootings in the US and a knife crime epidemic in the UK.

The allure of a system to keep us safe is certainly seductive so we want to be in public schools we want to be in hotels in shopping malls in university campuses and so we're now in the business of rolling out.

Obviously, North America is our you know Genesis or starting point the UK market will be extremely important to us particularly.

Knives:

When it comes to knives because of the knife crime crisis and the fact the knives are being used by terrorist groups for mass attacks

But groundbreaking as the tech is it's largely unproven how accurate is your system because when it comes to AI the machine is only as smart as the data.

That you're feeding it well we've been out for a long time now with tremendous partners like Wes Kay who have allowed us to get a lot of data.

The University of North Dakota equally has been you know hugely supportive in that way so we've built sufficiently large data Holdings and us now have confidence in the accuracy of our systems.

Enough confidence that we're now into our first commercial deployments our early adopters for those commercial deployments also understand that the systems get better,

And better and better the more data is variant so they are equally allowing us to ingest data for training the system still the system isn't a hundred percent accurate or foolproof,

And the salient may well get into the premises another way entirely or a weapon could be hidden in a different shaped object like a metal box,

Soan additional security layer is needed so if I'm openly brandishing a weapon that's where the eyes of the system kick in the so-called machine a vision,

Where security camera can make an assessment based on what's in my hand against its database and if it finds that it's likely to be a weapon.

It will trigger relevant alert the idea of augmenting human eyes with the smarts of computer vision are catching on globally a number of outfits promising enhanced security through the person and object detection,

But understandably that leaves many people uneasy we have a very conscious of the fact people don't want to live in a massive alien society.

There are different ways in which you could gather data but we capture no personal information we store or distribute any personal information.

We're looking for objects people are of no interest to us unless they are carrying a threat object so what our AI has been trained to recognize is the threat it's not making any determination on people.

It's capturing their personal information generating their body image and that I think puts us on me on the right side of that line between you know too much Artificial Intelligence.
