Autoclear has announced the commercial launch of AI Threat Assist, an AI-powered threat detection tool that helps to identify concealed guns, knives and other concealed objects as backpacks, handbags and other items are being inspected using the company’s X-ray security scanners.
The company also announced that AI Threat Assist has now been successfully deployed at multiple customer locations, including schools, courthouses and other public venues.
According to Autoclear, AI Threat Assist uses advanced machine learning technology to analyze X-ray images and highlight potential threats for security operators by drawing a bounding box around a potential threat item found in the X-ray image.
The threat detection tool is available now as an optional capability integrated on Autoclear X-ray scanners.
In response to school customer concerns regarding the use of vapes, Autoclear will be releasing a new version of AI Threat Assist in 2024 that will enable enhanced detection of vapes of all types.
“Security decision makers at schools and other locations are facing unprecedented challenges,” commented Todd Conway, CEO of Autoclear.
“AI Threat Assist is designed to help security personnel quickly identify potential threats concealed in bags, backpacks and purses.
“A growing number of customers are now using AI Threat Assist because it is a cost-effective ‘operator assist’ capability that makes security personnel more productive and provides an additional layer of security capability for schools, stadiums, amusement parks, court houses and other public venues.”
