Knightscope submits AI recommendations to the White House

Knightscope (KSCP) has formally submitted public comment to the White House’s “Development of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Action Plan” emphasizing the urgent need for AI-driven security solutions to safeguard federal facilities and critical infrastructure, while also fostering safer environments for government employees, visitors, and communities. This policy initiative, led by the Office of Science and Technology Policy under the new administration, seeks to strengthen America’s AI capabilities while removing barriers to private sector innovation. Knightscope’s recommendations urge the federal government to modernize outdated procurement policies and accelerate the deployment of autonomous security robots in military bases, government buildings, and high-risk environments. The company proposes key initiatives, including authorizing autonomous security in federally managed spaces, launching a multi-agency pilot program, and ensuring national security by prohibiting the federal procurement of ASRs from adversary nations.
