As artificial intelligence gains traction across industries, Nebraska’s business and startup communities are learning how to adopt the technology through meetups, forums and cautious experimentation. While some warn that companies risk falling behind without AI, others emphasize the need for thoughtful implementation amid evolving regulations and risks.

By integrating Engage Vision’s advanced computer vision technology, Guardify expects to bolster its capabilities, particularly for law enforcement and child advocacy centers.
