Hayden AI Named a Top 50 Smartest Company of the Year

It’s a happy Monday here at Hayden AI: today we were named one of the top 50 smartest companies of the year by the Silicon Review!

We’re thrilled to be featured in this impressive line-up of companies – especially at this unique moment in our history. At barely two years old, we’re developing AI and machine learning technologies that will revolutionize how governments and businesses solve real world problems. From bus lane and bus stop enforcement to digital twin modeling and more, our AI-powered, mobile perception system can speed up transit, make streets safer, and create a more sustainable future.

Our CEO and co-founder, Chris Carson, spoke to the Silicon Review about how we got started and what sets Hayden AI apart from our competitors. Here are some highlights from the Q&A, which you can read in full here.

Silicon Review: How is Hayden AI challenging the status quo?

Chris Carson: We process traffic violations at the edge, rather than transmitting recordings to a remote cloud server for analysis. (You can read more about this on our blog.) This significantly increases the speed at which violations are processed and enhances data privacy and security.

“We also allow government agencies to gain on-the-ground insights into city assets. For example, our platform can help governments identify problematic routes and infrastructures that may need improvement, such as sidewalks.

Silicon Review: How is Hayden AI unique? What differentiates you from others in the space?

Chris Carson: We are the front-runners of innovation in smart traffic enforcement with inventions that are years ahead of our competitors. Our mobile perception devices analyze traffic violations at the edge, rather than in the cloud as our competitors. We enable government agencies to define, evaluate, and fine-tune traffic rules digitally — which no other company does. We have also embedded best practices for security and privacy, which include government-grade encryption, data sharing and, auditable chains of custody.
