A new veteran-owned company is testing AI security camera software in two schools in the United States that can purportedly notice a mass shooter before anyone else. Aegis AI, founded about a year ago by two business students in Chicago, received $300,000 in funding from top venture capital firms in 2018, and also received funding from 14 angel investors who believe the equipment could aid school administrators in curbing gun violence.“We can draw a box around a gun with AI,” said Sonny Tai, one of the student owners.
