WASHINGTON, D.C. — October 2025 — The crowd at DC Startup & Tech Week 2025 rose to their feet last Friday as Dustin Hillis, President of SafeSpace Global Corporation (OTC: SSGC), delivered a powerful encore keynote titled "How AI Is Making America Safe: From School Shootings to National Security."
The session—which closed out one of the East Coast's premier innovation conferences—left attendees inspired by SafeSpace's vision for how multimodal artificial intelligence can play a transformative role in protecting lives across the United States and around the world.
A Standing Ovation for Purpose-Driven AI Hillis' keynote struck a chord with technologists, policymakers, and investors alike as he outlined how SafeSpace Global's camera-agnostic, sensor-based AI technology is already being deployed to detect weapons in schools, monitor at-risk seniors, and identify threats in transportation and correctional environments—all in real time.
"AI isn't just about convenience—it's about consciousness," Hillis said. "At SafeSpace, we believe artificial intelligence should do more than think. It should protect."
The keynote blended innovation with urgency, positioning SafeSpace Global as a pioneer in AI-powered safety infrastructure—a sector poised to redefine how America approaches public safety, national security, and everyday protection.
DC Startup & Tech Week: Where Innovation Meets Impact
Formerly known as DC Startup Week, the newly expanded DC Startup & Tech Week 2025 drew more than 15,000 founders, investors, engineers, and government leaders to the nation's capital.
The event's rebrand reflects its evolution from a local startup gathering to a global technology showcase, with this year's theme centered on AI, cybersecurity, and national resilience.
SafeSpace Global's selection for the Encore Keynote—the event's closing session reserved for the most visionary technology leaders—underscores how seriously the AI safety category is being taken in national tech circles.
Multimodal AI Safety: A New Standard for a Safer World
Hillis' presentation spotlighted SafeSpace Global's multimodal AI platform, which fuses video, audio, and environmental sensors into one seamless, proactive safety network.
This technology doesn't wait for emergencies to happen—it identifies early warning signs and alerts operators in seconds, allowing schools, hospitals, and public facilities to respond before lives are lost.
From AI weapons detection in school hallways to fall prevention in senior living, SafeSpace's systems are proving that life-saving innovation doesn't have to come at the cost of privacy or accessibility.
A Global Mission with American Roots
What began as a U.S. safety technology initiative has now become a global movement, with SafeSpace's engineering and delivery teams operating across the United States, India, and Malaysia.
"Safety is universal," Hillis emphasized. "Whether it's a child in a classroom, a patient in recovery, or a commuter waiting for a train—our mission is to protect every life, everywhere."
SafeSpace's cross-continental footprint allows it to accelerate R&D while scaling its AI deployments across healthcare, education, transportation, and corrections—four of the most critical sectors for public safety worldwide.
SafeSpace Global's Moment
Being featured as the Encore Main Stage keynote at DC Startup & Tech Week signals a turning point for SafeSpace Global.
The company is emerging not just as a player in the AI sector but as a leader in the intersection of artificial intelligence, ethics, and human protection.
As AI continues to dominate global discourse, SafeSpace Global (OTC: SSGC) stands at the forefront of a new category:
