AI could make video surveillance a proactive crime-fighting tool.
It’s fascinating to recall the development of artificial intelligence over the past decade, but the best is yet to come. As we prepare to move into 2018, there are lots of exciting developments coming down the pipeline, especially for AI-enhanced video surveillance.

Researchers have clearly documented advances in machine learning and AI over the years. Whether it’s IBM’s Watson winning a game of Jeopardy against some of the smartest people in the world, a Chinese platform outperforming humans on IQ tests, or Google’s AI writing its own poetry, there are dozens of examples of the greatness of AI technology.

However, until now, the accomplishments of AI have been more interesting than helpful. Times are changing, though. In addition to major breakthroughs in the fields of medicine and health care, the security industry is seeing some positive developments coming down the pipeline. Specifically, new advances will improve video surveillance.
