Axon, the global public safety technology leader, has announced the launch of three new AI-powered capabilities to help agencies detect incidents earlier, access critical information faster, and coordinate responses more effectively while maintaining security and data control. The new tools include Axon Vision for real-time activity recognition in live video feeds, the expanded Axon Assistant for secure access to operational data, and Axon 911 for redefining emergency response with cloud-based infrastructure and AI-enabled capabilities.

Why it matters

Public safety agencies are facing a 'data tax' with millions of 911 calls, body-worn camera footage, and other data sources that can slow response times and increase risk. Axon's new AI-powered tools aim to break down information barriers and provide a secure, compliant foundation to help prevent harm, accelerate justice, and protect life in the communities they serve.

The details

Axon Vision uses AI to recognize critical activity in live video as it happens, helping operators cut through overwhelming volumes of footage and focus on what matters most. Axon Assistant now expands secure, compliant AI access to data across the Axon Ecosystem, enabling officers to complete daily tasks like creating BOLO alerts and researching cases. Axon 911 brings cloud-based infrastructure and AI-enabled capabilities to redefine how 911 centers operate, giving responders critical context before they arrive on scene.

  • Axon announced the new capabilities during Axon Week 2026, its annual user conference.
