Lightspeed Systems® Releases Artificial Intelligence School Safety Solution

Leveraging advanced machine-learning technology, Lightspeed Alert provides the immediate data schools need to prevent school violence, bullying, and other harm. Its sophisticated AI performs in-depth scanning of student online activity to determine what’s relevant and what isn’t.

Additionally, by combining detailed user information like timelines and screenshots with its alerts, Lightspeed Alert gives school IT departments necessary context to determine the severity of suspicious activity. Lightspeed Alert gets the right information to the right people at the right time to help save students’ lives.

Lightspeed Alert has already saved student lives. Twenty minutes after implementing Lightspeed Alert’s beta release, one school district discovered a student who was contemplating suicide, allowing the district to intervene and provide necessary support.

Lightspeed Systems President & CEO Brian Thomas shares, “We’re a mission-driven company committed to protecting students. We’ve made great strides in 20 years and Lightspeed Alert is going to help us do even more for school safety.”
