at my previous job working for a security company, the biggest thing the big boss was always going on about was "alarm scoring" "alarm classification"
basically, you know how you have a security system, and it has cameras, and when something triggers the alarm you can look at the camera and see why the alarm went off, and if it's important (brick through a window) call the cops, or if not (squirrel on sidewalk) mark it as a false alarm and ignore it
what if, instead of having a person do this -- something that takes about 30 seconds per alarm, done properly -- we stripped out humans and left it in the hands of ML/AI to decide!
"alarm classification" the next evolution of monitoring
well, you don't have to wonder, because that's exactly what they are trying to do.
that article is old, but i can tell you the mindset absolutely didn't change.
really excited for the day this all really goes into effect, all the monitoring shops close up because who needs people when The Cloud does it, and then a ring of burglaries show up all perpetrated by a dude holding up a white sheet to the camera and it just went "idk no person here :)"
