Responsible AI Strategy

As a small business that develops and deploys predictive AI solutions for municipalities, we recognize the importance of ensuring our technology is responsibly operated. Our team spends a great deal of time and effort reviewing our policies. This document states the commitments we hold ourselves to.

Our Commitments

✓ No data sharing. City Detect does NOT share any jurisdiction’s data with any third party.

✓ No tracking of personal information. We blur faces and license plates by default.

✓ Human in the loop. Local leaders understand their communities best, and know how best to administer neighborhood services. That’s why we require human review of every detection before any action is taken.

✓ Stateside computation and storage. Our cloud computation and data storage infrastructure is located in the United States.

✓ Annual SOC 2 audit. An independent SOC 2 audit is performed every year to verify our security and data-handling controls.

✓ No revenue from detections. Local government neighborhood services departments do not operate with quotas and only use citations as a last resort. City Detect never collects revenue based on the number of citations that are issued, and neighborhood services departments don’t send them out through our system. 

✓ No federal or law enforcement database ties. City Detect does not tie into federal or law enforcement databases.
