AI at the Gates: Transforming Physical Security With Computer Vision and Operational Intelligence

In an era where physical security intersects with artificial intelligence, the role of computer vision in reshaping perimeter intrusion detection systems and physical access control systems  is transformative. This session delves into the critical integration of legacy technologies with generative artificial intelligence (AI) and narrow AI to redefine traditional security processes. Attendees will gain insights into how privacy and trust challenges can be addressed through responsible AI frameworks while exploring how automation and intelligence can repurpose manual tasks such as audits and operational monitoring.

By leveraging AI-driven real time insights, physical security will no longer be a reactive process but an anticipatory proactive one, with safety and operational efficiency becoming natural byproducts of intelligence-first strategies. Whether it’s reducing human intervention in high-risk scenarios, enabling predictive threat detection or automating compliance checks, this session will outline the path to operational excellence through AI using real case studies. Learn how embracing these technologies will enhance trust, reduce risks/cost and transform physical security and safety operations into operational intelligence.
