Harnessing AI and innovation in the fight to end gun violence.
About Us
In a country where gun violence claims more than 100 lives every day—and its causes, solutions, and even basic data about incidents remain elusive—we have to use every available tool to address this public health epidemic, including new technology. Enter Everytown Labs.
An initiative of Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund, Everytown Labs surfaces and accelerates innovative technology to address gun violence, developing digital products and delivering new insights to support our gun safety mission.
It is an exciting project at an exciting moment in tech. Recent developments in artificial intelligence have made enormous, intractable problems suddenly more manageable—and we are here to ensure that gun violence prevention benefits from these advances. Our goal at Everytown Labs is to leverage cutting-edge technologies, including AI, to radically change our understanding of gun violence and the solutions to it.
Welcome to the future of gun safety.
