As video surveillance becomes truly ubiquitous we have an opportunity to make our communities even more safe. Many of us have cameras in our homes and even our doorbells now have cameras. Every business has cameras and many cities are monitored with them. The challenge today is that most of these cameras rely on people to determine what is happening. Soon, we will use AI to watch these videos and to identify threats. Whether that threat is a person who is angry and behaving maliciously, or a car casing a neighborhood. Analytics will be able to identify these behaviors and alert authorities before a crime is committed. The implications for this are incredible! It will change the way police protect us, it will empower the officers on patrol to identify known assailants returning to an area where they previously committed crimes, and so much more. From a social perspective, does this technology reduce the stereotypical biasing in policing? Does this create a big brother situation that reduces our right to privacy? Is the benefit worth the risk?
