Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I invited William West and Steven King, co-founders of Protect Schools, to discuss how AI is being used to transform school safety. We explore how their technology turns passive surveillance systems into proactive security tools alerting educators in real time to incidents like fights, falls, or the presence of weapons.Steven shares his perspective as a parent and edtech professional, while William reflects on the moment that sparked his mission, being on a college campus when a nearby shooting occurred. Together, they explain how Protect Schools was born out of a shared desire to make a difference.This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the real-world impact of AI on safety and how we can move from reactive responses to proactive prevention.******To learn more about working with Minerva, visit our online home at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Minerva Consulting⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Contact us at⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠Find Minerva on⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Learn more about the host, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sonal Chandler⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠Learn more about our guests, William West and Steven King.
