Milestone Systems

How do you inspire the next generation to become the new pioneers in tech?   We believe the answer is to engage, educate, and empower young minds by fostering a culture of curiosity—even if it means asking difficult questions. Recently, we hosted a group of students from Odder Gymnasium at our Copenhagen office, offering them a glimpse into the world of technology and innovation.   During their visit, our CEO, Thomas Jensen, introduced the students to the core values and global presence of Milestone Systems. He emphasized how data-driven video technology helps people, businesses, and societies learn from the past, understand the present, and predict the future.   Our VP of Global Communications, Lisbeth Nedergaard, shared insights into our Public Affairs initiatives, explaining how advocating for responsible technology can influence both national and global legislation to ensure the ethical use of AI and other modern technologies are not just empty promises.   Dr. Barry Norton, our VP of Human-Centered AI, delivered a fascinating presentation on the history, mathematics, and ethics of artificial intelligence—from the early inception of AI to neural networks and modern reinforcement learning. Barry highlighted the remarkable contributions of marginalized pioneers like Ada Lovelace, Alan Turing, emphasizing the importance of recognizing their impact on the field. He also unpacked the complexities of facial recognition, demonstrating that its benefits, when implemented ethically, outweigh the concerns often associated with the term.   We hope to ignite a passion in young students to pursue careers in tech and contribute to a future where technology serves humanity. This experience was rewarding for us all, and we look forward to continuing our efforts to inspire the next generation of tech enthusiasts.   #TechEducation #ResponsibleTechnology #MilestoneSystems #AI

AI and Video Technology are not just evolving at lightning speed—it is fundamentally reshaping our world. From the way we communicate, collaborate, and learn, to how entire industries innovate. This potential change will challenge our assumptions, amplify our capabilities, and spark unexplored levels of creativity, opportunities and challenges. From revolutionizing healthcare to creating blueprints for smarter cities, the possibilities are endless.

Our aim is to get better prepared for security challenges into the future-innovation, collaboration, and strong commitments towards upskilling initiatives. At the Security Industry Conference 2024, hosted by the TP-SII Security Industry Institute, an announcement of a special collaboration was made: Canon Singapore Pte Ltd and Temasek Polytechnic have jointly announced the launch of the Security Technology Experience Center by 2025. With support from leading industry giants such as Milestone Systems, Axis Communications, and BriefCam, this program will focus on equipping security professionals with the skills and awareness needed to operate in the changing technological environment. But why is this important? • Technology is rewriting the security industry. As AI, machine learning, and IoT are shaping the future, so do security solutions get smarter and more responsive. • The human touch is irreplaceable, though. While innovating, our goal is not just efficiency but to create more intelligent solutions that work with, not replace, human judgment. • Collaboration is the key. And this initiative shows how partnerships can lead the way in preparing a future-ready workforce. The event then stirred discussions on the role of the next-gen SMART security officer. Emphasis was made on how to use technology to make others safer. Investing in innovation and collaboration is not only about staying ahead but about creating a safer and more resilient future for all. It’s time we unite technology with human potential to create lasting, meaningful change.

Every university needs a vigilant campus guardian to keep their students and staff safe. Black Hills State University in South Dakota set a new standard in campus security. What approach helped them to make the grade? The university managed to avoid common pitfalls in campus security projects, such as departmental silos and proprietary technologies. Thanks to that, they established a model system that enhances the school experience by assisting Public Safety in investigations, IT in maintenance, and Facilities in weather monitoring. The solution itself is a centralized video system using open-platform technology. This system unifies their main and satellite campuses with just a few clicks, enables cross-department access, and scales easily to support future growth.

Today, we celebrate UN International Human Rights Day, a global call to honor the principles of freedom, equality, and justice for all. This day reminds us of the shared responsibility we must uphold and protect these rights, no matter where we are in the world. As a software company, we at Milestone recognize our responsibility to respect the human rights of anyone impacted by our products. This belief has governed our approach to video technology since 2001. That's why we have: • Introduced a Human Rights clause in our license agreement & adopted the 2024 G7 AI Code of Conduct • Signed the EU AI Pact • Adopted a Milestone Human Rights Policy, seeking full alignment the United Nations Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) • Implemented Human Rights Due Diligence processes in select countries And that's just the beginning. We are determined to play our part in a future where technology and human rights go hand in hand.

At Milestone we always hire for attitude, and train for skill. That is our secret for successful innovation. So, when you visit our offices in Brøndby, there’s a high chance you will meet many of our apprentices. Often you can run into Josef, our tech apprentice and future coding wizard. Josef joined Milestone as one of three tech apprentices, splitting his time between school and hands-on work with our teams. Over the past 18 months, he worked with test automation and is now sharpening his programming skills with our System Telemetry and Relational Data team—or simply put, he’s learning the technology magic that makes our systems smarter. “Working in this international tech company is a dream. I get to work with cutting-edge technology, learn from incredible colleagues, and contribute to something meaningful.” By the time Josef completes his studies in the next three years, he will have worked across multiple teams, gaining invaluable insights and real-world expertise that will set him apart from his competitors. When he’s not coding, you’ll find him dominating the ping-pong table at our Friday Bar, balancing work-and-play. #TechTalent #Apprenticeship #FutureOfTech #LifeAtMilestone

The data is clear - public trust in facial recognition requires clear rules, regulations, and guidelines.   A recent survey in Denmark reveals that 84% of Danish people support police use of facial recognition to prevent and solve crimes. While strong public support for the technology is evident, this trust is contingent on clear rules for data protection and transparency. 70% of survey correspondents believe that transparency is key for trust, while 51% demand stored data to be deleted the moment it becomes irrelevant.   At Milestone we believe that public trust is deeply intertwined with our commitment towards responsibility. In the words of our CEO, Thomas Jensen: "Technology’s potential is immense, but maintaining trust means establishing robust frameworks for security, regulation, and ethical use."   Click to learn how clear rules can build trust in police use of facial recognition: https://lnkd.in/gYgR6Zdf   #FacialRecognition #Milestone #PublicSafety #MakeTheWorldSee
