Join Nicolás Martinelli, minister of the Interior of Uruguay, who will share his firsthand view of how Montevideo leveraged AI-based technology to address escalating gun violence and build safer communities. As a key leader in the deployment of acoustic gunshot detection technology, Martinelli will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the decision making, implementation and expansion of this innovative public safety solution.

The presentation will explore how Montevideo integrated advanced detection technology with existing tools, such as video surveillance and dispatch systems, to achieve measurable results: hundreds of gunshot incidents detected, lives saved, multiple arrests and key evidence recovered. Martinelli will also discuss the operational and cultural changes required for successful adoption, the role of public-private partnerships in scaling up these technologies and how these lessons can inspire broader applications in Latin America and beyond.

How Emerging Technologies Have Changed the Game of Perimeter Intrusion

Wednesday, June 25, 11:30 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.

Presenter:

  • Yaron Zussman, General Manager, Magos

This session will examine the potential of radar and lidar sensors combined with AI and machine learning. Attendees will discover how the integration of these technologies revolutionizes perimeter intrusion detection, improving accuracy and minimizing false alarms. We’ll delve into the impact of these innovations on critical sectors, such as infrastructure, data centers and government facilities, where accuracy and reliability are essential. Finally, the session will highlight how the adoption of emerging technologies in perimeter security can create profitable business opportunities, including the development of new security solutions, optimization of existing systems and capitalization of market trends.

Invisible Threats: How AI Is Redefining Cybersecurity

Wednesday, June 25, 12:30-1:15 p.m.

Presenter:

  • Engineer Manuel Carlos Chavez, Area Sales Manager NoLa, Hanwha Vision America

This session will share how AI is changing cybersecurity, addressing increasingly complex threats that were previously difficult to detect. AI not only improves the detection of cyberattacks but is also redefining protection strategies, using tools such as predictive analytics and deep learning.

Attendees will explore how these technologies help businesses identify anomalous patterns, prevent attacks before they occur and reduce the impact of threats. We’ll also discuss the challenges of integrating AI into security systems and how organizations can adapt to these changes without compromising the privacy or integrity of their data.

This session will share examples of how AI is being applied in sectors such as banking, education, health care and industry, protecting critical infrastructure, and provide a clear overview of how AI is transforming cybersecurity and creating more secure and resilient systems.
