From business to entertainment, artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of today’s society. The adoption of AI has seen continuous & rapid growth, and we predict this trend will not slow down for years to come, as systems will constantly advance and become more powerful.
What are 3 ways AI is used today?
1. Business Automation
In the business world, AI automation is utilized for streamlining sales & marketing processes such as the ranking and sorting of leads based on factors like expected value, and likeliness to convert(1).
Human resources is another business sector that is known to deploy artificial intelligence based systems. For example, when PepsiCo was recently hiring for a new sales position, the HR team utilized an AI powered robot named Vera to make outgoing calls and conduct phone interviews(2).
2. AI Powered Cities
For the average citizen, we have observed that AI has also been integrated into the creation of new, innovative Smart Cities. These AI powered cities come with a wide array of features, such as AI enhanced traffic control.
These systems create real time parking and traffic maps, allowing drivers to save time by avoiding accidents and revealing where the best places to park are, based on the time of day(3).
3. AI For Your Ears
Within the entertainment business, AI is used extensively in the music streaming industry, and a powerful example of this can be found with ‘music recommendations’. For example, streaming platforms such as Spotify use AI algorithms to collect data and create specific music recommendations and playlists based on the users listening history(4).
Shazam, which has been recently acquired by Apple, is another company that changed the way we listen to music via Artificial Intelligence. It utilizes an extensive artificial intelligence system which listens to a song and creates a ‘digital fingerprint’ based on wavelengths, lyrics, musical key, and other sonic attributes which is then compared to an extremely large database of music.
Once a match is found between the digital fingerprints, the user is presented with information such as song name, artist, and publication year(5). The utilization of AI for music has created a hyper-personalized experience for users, which has been graciously accepted and praised for its accuracy.
How does AI contribute to the effectiveness of our Security Solutions?
Since our inception, we have been developing & utilizing artificial intelligence to assist our video monitoring operators, and our clients with operational efficiencies. On a daily basis, we take this technology steps further with our extensive development of human detection, which allows our system to specify when a human being is detected within camera view, with astounding accuracy & confidence.
A major advantage that human detection technology brings lies in the fact that our AI system can accurately differentiate from an animal, a stray object blowing in the wind, or when a human enters the cameras view; even in the darkness of night, and in situations that aren’t easily discernable to the human eye.
This provides our team with the opportunity to prioritize security situations; the accuracy of the system provides a high level of confidence for responding to AI-vetted alerts in a priority sequence, based on severity or immediacy of need. This expansive development of our proprietary AI system has effectively improved our industry leading detection & deterrence rate of 98%, to an astounding 99.2%!
As innovation is what ultimately drives our team of developers & engineers, our in-house AI & Software team are also actively working on the further development of our internal system to expand the database for object & fire detection; detecting common objects used in crimes to assist in preventing them, and fire events for mitigating property damage.
Our team is always forging the path at forefront of security technology. As such, our Artificial Intelligence advancements are one instance where we will continually push the envelope of technological innovation.
We are the future of Security, today.
