But, as Patton tried to validate information on social media with public data from traffic cameras, weather reports and police scanners, he realized that Banjo’s artificial intelligence could almost instantly discover where accidents and other critical incidents took place. Banjo gradually shifted from relying on social media to using what would happen if a child was abducted, Banjo provided the information to solve the case in 20 seconds, as an example — he is anxious to get the technology in more people’s hands. “You feel this greater sense of responsibility because we are dealing with life and death every day,” he said. “I won’t sleep well until anybody who can save a life, like for example recover a child, has access to this to make a difference.” Patton moved to Park City and brought the company along with him because he and his wife wanted to get away from the fast pace of Silicon Valley.
