Milestone Systems has announced the acquisition of brighter AI, the Berlin-based technology company that provides anonymisation solutions for video data based on deep learning technology to protect people’s identities in public.
The acquisition of brighter AI also opens up a range of new opportunities with anonymisation capabilities and privacy enhancement, which protects data and enables full data privacy. The addition of brighter AI strengthens Milestone’s offerings for video management software, video surveillance as a service and video analytics and fuels the company’s ongoing growth journey in, and beyond, security. Additionally, brighter AI’s anonymisation technology serves as a cornerstone of the recently announced data library and AI model training tool Project Hafnia.
“brighter AI was founded with the mission to make visual data usable in a privacy-preserving way. Joining Milestone Systems marks an exciting new chapter—together, we can scale that mission to a global level out of Europe,” says company co-founder Marian Gläser. “We’re proud that our anonymisation solutions will become a core pillar of a platform that’s set to redefine how compliant, high-quality video data is used to train AI. We’re ready to shape the future of visual AI—secure, ethical, and transformative.”
