5 Biggest Issues in America and the Companies Working on Solving Them

1. Mass Shootings

America has the highest number of guns per capita of any country in the world. Many states in the US do not have red-flag and background-check laws in place, resulting in just about anyone being able to get their hands on an AR15 with a large-capacity magazine. 

There were over 620 mass shootings in the US in 2022 alone, so far, resulting in the deaths of more than 40,000 people. In terms of corporate solutions, ZeroEyes and Kogniz, two AI startups, aim to prevent mass shootings from escalating by reducing response time with real-time computer vision designed to detect guns in CCTVs. However, there’s credible skepticism regarding the effectiveness of such solutions for this particular problem.
