This isnโ€™t an AI conversation about hype.

Itโ€™s about solving real problems where safety actually matters. From nursing homes and schools to transportation systems and public spaces.

Scott Boruff, CEO of SafeSpace Global AI, joins The Shift Spotlightโ„ข๏ธ to share how a mission to keep seniors safe at home became AI-powered safety technology designed to prevent incidents before they happen.

Scott breaks down what it takes to scale safety-first technology, lead with urgency, and build AI that works where trust and reliability matter most.


In this conversation, we cover:

๐Ÿšจ Preventing threats before escalation

๐Ÿ” Why on-site data security is non-negotiable

๐Ÿงฌ Biometric safety without sacrificing dignity

๐Ÿซ Protecting vulnerable populations at scale

๐Ÿ“ˆ Leading mission-driven innovation in high-stakes environments


This episode is for leaders building technology that has to work the first time.
