For Falcons.AI COO Bobbi Stattelman, the future of AI isn’t about chasing the next breakthrough at any cost—it’s about building solutions that make the world safer, easier to navigate, and more sustainable. In a landscape crowded with massive models and cloud-heavy architectures, Falcons.AI is proving that impact comes from focusing on real problems, not hype.
From reaching 700 million model downloads to developing the world’s most-used NSFW detection model, the company’s mission is straightforward: inject good into the world using AI. That means delivering technology that can be deployed where there is the greatest need—whether that’s securing digital spaces, protecting vulnerable communities, or streamlining complex workflows.
Falcons.AI’s solutions are designed for accessibility. Their AI models are simple to use, fast to implement, and capable of running on-device for maximum privacy. Whether it’s a poultry farmer identifying illness with a smartphone camera or a logistics operator classifying shipments in seconds, the goal is the same: make powerful AI tools available without requiring deep technical expertise.
On-Device AI for Real-World Impact: Falcons.AI is shrinking models to run efficiently on local devices, eliminating reliance on the cloud and reducing latency.
Sustainability Through Low-Power AI: By creating compact, power-efficient models, the company helps organizations avoid the massive energy costs associated with traditional AI infrastructure.
Practical Safety Applications: From detecting explicit imagery to monitoring unsafe behavior in elder care facilities, Falcons.AI’s technology addresses real safety concerns in real time.
The company’s collaboration with Intel highlights what’s possible when low-power design meets enterprise performance. Together, they’ve developed a custom model architecture with a footprint of just four megabytes—achieving a 10x improvement in power efficiency for sensitive data analysis. This enables privacy-first deployments for industries where control over data is non-negotiable.
As Bobbi notes, the key to AI success isn’t just performance—it’s relevance. Leaders should start with the problem, not the technology, and avoid solutions that create more challenges than they solve. In practice, that means applying second- and third-order thinking: evaluating the long-term impacts of every AI deployment.
In industries from security to logistics, Falcons.AI is showing how AI can be tailored to deliver meaningful value without unnecessary complexity. Their open-source approach accelerates innovation, while enterprise-ready implementations ensure safety, scalability, and manageability.
For decision makers, the message is clear: the future belongs to AI that works quietly in the background, protecting users, respecting resources, and solving the problems that matter most. Falcons.AI—and partners like Intel—are building that future today.
