Founded in 2018, Actuate is an North American AI company building computer vision software that turns any security camera into an intruder- and threat-detecting smart camera, providing facilities with safer, cost-effective, end-to-end security automation. Actuate AI video analytics software identifies threats including guns, intruders, and loiterers, alerting security teams and providing organizations with safer, cost-efficient, end-to-end security management. In the end, false positives are reduced by as much as 99 percent, according to the company.
Founded by CEO Sonny Tai, a U.S. Marine Corps captain and Chief Technology Officer Ben Ziomek, a Microsoft AI veteran, Actuate’s technology was developed in collaboration with law enforcement, educators, and the military. Tai’s passion for prevention comes from his upbringing in South Africa, where family friends were part of the country’s high gun violence statistics.
