Simulated footage created by Quantasoft, a start-up focused on artificial intelligence and its use in real life, shows an attacker moving through the halls of a Prague hospital. If cameras with AI-powered systems detect that the attacker is carrying a weapon, the response comes in an instant. “It’s a matter of seconds when we detect a weapon even in places where people are not moving – and we send it to the central security centre,” says Milan Pašek, founder and managing director of Quantasoft. Security forces could then react immediately to a real threat. In addition to the ability to detect weapons, the company is also developing facial recognition software.
