In this episode of the Ctrl+Listen podcast, Autonomous Security Robots, AI & Knightscope, host James Sweetlove sits down with William Santana Li, the CEO of Knightscope (Nasdaq: KSCOP), the company pioneering autonomous security robots and emergency communication devices. Santana Li dives into the company, its contributions towards 24/7/365 autonomous public safety, and the near future of AI and robotics. 

The Journey of Knightscope:
Knightscope, with over a decade of experience and 2.3 million hours of in-field experience, has been developing autonomous security robots and communication devices. These robots combine cutting-edge technology, including self-driving, AI, robotics, and autonomy, to provide officers and security guards worldwide with cutting-edge surveillance capabilities. Knightscope’s Autonomous Security Robots (ASRs) are designed to enhance traditional security systems and functions across various locations, from entertainment venues to school campuses to anywhere people live, work, visit, or play.

The Role of AI In Everyday Life: 
AI has increasingly become a hot topic. Many people now realize how often their lives are touched by artificial intelligence in a single day. From personalized recommendations on video streaming platforms to personalized online shopping experiences, understanding the role of AI in our lives is crucial for bridging the gap in public perception. 

Much like a real-time, curated “recommended for you” suggestion area with an online shopping experience, these robots can analyze vast amounts of data in real time. The difference is that this data enables them to identify suspicious activity, detect anomalies, and respond to potential threats, offering law enforcement a new level of safety for their officers and teams, along with increased efficiency and effectiveness. 

What’s Next for Knightscope: 
In the realm of AI and robotics, Knightscope stands at the forefront of AI and robotics, making significant strides in autonomous security. Each day brings fresh opportunities as Knightscope collaborates with law enforcement, airports, and healthcare, among many others. Knighscope is not just a part of the future; it is shaping it and redefining security standards, ensuring a safer tomorrow for the United States.
