DHS S&T Awards $199K to Birmingham Start-Up for Passenger Property Screening

Analytical AI has been awarded Phase 1 non-dilutive funding from Department of Homeland Security Science & Technology via the Silicon Valley Innovation Program (SVIP). The award will support development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms for object recognition of common traveler items. This enhances the current Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA's) workflows and will promote more rapid and effective security checkpoints.
