In today’s increasingly unpredictable world, keeping people, property, and assets safe has become more complex than ever. Fortunately, AI is playing a growing role in strengthening physical security and safety measures. In this episode of AI Today, hosts Kathleen Walch and Ron Schmelzer explore how AI is being applied across the physical security landscape to enhance threat detection and improve response capabilities.
We discuss how AI-augmented surveillance systems are improving situational awareness by identifying suspicious behavior or potential threats in real time. These intelligent systems help security teams respond faster and more accurately. And, often before incidents escalate. AI is also being used to detect environmental hazards. These hazards can include smoke, gas leaks, or dangerous temperature fluctuations. Not monitored, these hazards can pose serious risks to both people and infrastructure.
Another area where AI is making a significant impact is in access control. In this episode we explore how organizations are using AI to manage entry into secure areas. By adapting permissions based on real-time assessments and behavior organizations can ensure that only authorized personnel access sensitive locations.
Whether you’re involved in risk management, security operations, or simply interested in how AI is enhancing safety in the physical world, this episode sheds light on the technologies and use cases that are reshaping the future of physical security.
