Public Safety and the Need for a National Robotics Strategy

William Santana Li, Chairman and CEO of Knightscope, is driving a bold vision to make the U.S. the safest country in the world through physical AI -autonomous security robots that deter, detect, and report crime. America’s fragmented public safety infrastructure is failing. Li is advocating for Congress to set a mandate for a 1% federal agency budget set-aside from its maintenance/support activities for robotics and automation to drive innovation, reduce cost, and address the urgent need for domestic security modernization.
