Concealed not so concealed

AI-Powered Cameras Represent Tech’s Biggest Trade-off
Products that promise more convenience and better security often come at the cost of reduced privacy—and increased surveillance

Here's what caught my attention:
Another company making use of AI and cameras in the safety space is Patriot One Technologies Inc., PAT -1.60% the maker of Patscan, which uses microwave radar, chemical sensing and object detection to covertly detect guns, knives and even drugs.
It could tell, for example, if a weapon is being taken out of a car in the parking lot of a school. Those cameras can be paired with a smart locking system that could automatically secure a building if a weapon is detected on the premises.
The company recently announced a partnership with Ginter Electrical Contractors and the security team for the Cincinnati Reds to install the technology at the team’s Great American Ball Park.
What is perhaps most notable about the platform is how covert it is. “It’s hidden, so you can put it in planters or door frames,” said Scott Ledingham, a spokesman for the company. “No one will even know they’re being scanned.”
The company said it is up to the individual client using the system to decide whether people will be notified in some way that nonphysical screening measures are in place. Facial recognition can be added to the system, but the company says it doesn’t store data associated with specific individuals.
Patriot One CEO Martin Cronin said he understands that people want to be safe but that they also don’t want mass surveillance.
I know this technology has been around a while, but it now looks like it's going to the next level.
