27、s.Customers are not only becoming more curious about AI but are also growing increasingly knowledgeable about its potential applications.Despite this progress,most agreed that we are still in the early days of AI adoption,with much room for growth and refinement.AI adoption appears to be more advanc
28、ed in certain markets,such as the US,Japan,Singapore,and certain parts of Europe,where customers are more actively seeking AI solutions to improve surveillance and operational efficiency.Experts attributed this to variations in market maturity,regulatory frameworks,and customer readiness to invest i
29、n and deploy AI solutions.1The interview findings reveal several thematic insights:We are betting on edge computing,but ultimately,many solutions will require a balance between edge and cloud.Partner,AmericasAI is a valuable feature but can be challenging to both understand and use.Partner,APACThe t
30、ransition to cloud and edge AI continues to accelerate The shift from traditional on-premise server systems to hybrid architectures continues,where cloud-based technology is combined with edge AI solutions.This development is driven by the need for easier scalability,faster processing,and improved b
31、andwidth usage.Edge AI plays a crucial role by enabling faster,local analytics with minimal latency that is essential for real-time responsiveness in critical situations.At the same time,cloud integration is becoming increasingly important,especially for managing large installations on multiple site
32、s.The hybrid model,which combines the immediate processing capabilities of edge AI on cameras with the scalability and easy access to systems in the cloud,is emerging as the preferred approach by many.This balance allows organizations to harness the strengths of both technologies.By moving AI proces
33、sing closer to the source,on edge devices like cameras,companies can reduce bandwidth consumption,enhance efficiency,and better support real-time applications such as security monitoring.As this trend continues,the hybrid approach is expected to continue to shape the future of AI in security,safety,
34、business intelligence and operational efficiency.2KEY FINDINGS 9 insightsTHE STATE OF AI IN VIDEO SURVEILLANCE|11Integration of diverse data generating insightsThe integration of diverse data sources for a more comprehensive analysis is emerging as a trend that could revolutionize safety and securit
35、y while elevating business intelligence and improving operational efficiency.Experts predict that integrating additional sensory data,such as audio and contextual environmental factors,to complement video data will enhance situational awareness,provide more actionable insights,and offer a more compr
36、ehensive understanding of events.Experts emphasize that combining multiple streams of data enables more accurate detection and prediction of potential threats.For instance,in emergency scenarios,pairing visual data with audio analysis can allow security teams to respond faster and more precisely.Thi
37、s richer,context-aware approach reflects how human operators process multiple inputs to make informed decisions,representing a significant step forward in improving safety,security,and operational efficiency.Growing use of facial recognitionFacial recognition has become widely adopted in many countr
38、ies,particularly in Asia,where it is commonly used for urban security,surveillance,and commercial applications.In contrast,adoption seems to have been slower in Europe,the US and countries like Australia and New Zealand due 34Looking further ahead,well see AI combining data from multiple sources for
39、 better insights.Multimodality as a concept has been there for quite some time,but I think it will accelerate.And that will enable more intelligent decision-making.Partner,APACWe see customers integrating AI with additional sensor data to provide richer,more actionable intelligence.And that is a who
40、le new game.Partner,Americasto stricter privacy regulations and public concerns about surveillance.However,the introduction of new regulations is helping to clarify how facial recognition should be applied by differentiating use cases based on risk and providing a clear framework for its responsible
41、 useInterviewees predict that facial recognition will continue to gain traction globally.Ethical considerations around its use remain a central focus,particularly in regions with strong privacy laws.Most interviewees highlight that there are effective ways to implement facial recognition responsibly
42、,including aligning with privacy regulations and maintaining transparency about how the technology works and should be applied.This transparency is seen as critical to building and maintaining public trust in the technology.New opportunities for business intelligence and operational efficiencyThe in
43、tegration of AI is transforming network cameras into powerful,data-generating sensors.By integrating AI-enabled edge devices,such as cameras,with large-scale computational power like cloud computing,the video surveillance industry is being redefined.Experts highlight this paradigm shift in the inter
44、views and report that AI-powered video solutions are increasingly being implemented in sectors like retail,logistics,and manufacturing.Common use cases include space optimization,people counting,asset tracking,and resource management.A recurring theme in these discussions is AIs ability to deliver s
45、ignificant cost savings and operational improvements.By integrating video analytics with broader business systems,companies can achieve better resource allocation,automate processes,and make more informed decisions.5KEY FINDINGS 9 insightsTHE STATE OF AI IN VIDEO SURVEILLANCE|12AI integration challe
46、nges:bridging expectations and capabilitiesAcross multiple interviews,a recurring theme emerged:the challenge of effectively integrating AI technologies to build systems that deliver better value.This is not just about leveraging technology for its own sake but about creating solutions that address
47、specific needs and generate tangible benefits.While AI offers significant potential to enhance surveillance and detection accuracy,several experts say they face difficulties in combining the right tools and technologies to produce reliable results.Selecting the optimal combination of AI software and
48、 hardware to meet customer needs efficiently remains a complex task.Advancements in AI hardware have paved the way for new capabilities,but they also introduce challenges,particularly for integrators working to ensure compatibility with existing legacy systems.6Just as we have a responsibility to ta
49、lk about the opportunities AI can bring,we also need to be realistic about what the technology can and cannot do.Partner,EMEASince almost anything is possible with AI,the real challenge is helping customers identify the right problems to solve where theyll get a real return on investment.Partner,Ame
50、ricasAnother critical issue is the gap between client expectations and the actual capabilities of AI solutions.Customers often anticipate near-perfect accuracy especially for applications like license plate recognition or anomaly detection.However,AI systems may typically achieve accuracy of 85-95%u
51、nder some conditions,which may not align with these expectations.Factors such as video quality and environmental variability,also play a role in determining performance and the fact that different use cases inherently have different accuracy.This challenge seems to be particularly evident in facial
52、recognition and motion detection systems,where transparency about the strengths and limitations of AI technologies is essential.Experts emphasized the importance of managing expectations and fostering trust by clearly communicating what AI can and cannot achieve.KEY FINDINGS 9 insightsTHE STATE OF A
53、I IN VIDEO SURVEILLANCE|13Partnership and collaboration for effective and responsible AI integrationThe ethical challenges associated with the rapid deployment of AI technologies underscore the importance of choosing the right partners.Several interviewees stressed that selecting collaborators with
54、aligned values especially in areas like privacy,compliance,and view on AI ethics is essential for them.Partnerships that emphasize alignment on values and goals also play a critical role in overcoming the hurdles of AI integration.Collaboration among AI developers,integrators,and end users was repea
55、tedly identified as a key factor for enhancing the reliability,relevance,and long-term success of AI implementations.By involving customers early in the process,stakeholders can ensure that the technology(and the intended use of it)is better understood,and user feedback is incorporated.One practical
56、 example,highlighted by respondents across regions,is the concept of collaborative surveillance projects.In these initiatives,customers actively participate in the design and ongoing feedback loops of AI systems.This hands-on approach results in tailored solutions that address specific needs while k
57、eeping ethical considerations and real-world applicability in focus.Navigating responsible AI Interviewees emphasized that responsible AI and ethical considerations are critical priorities in the development and deployment of AI systems.Many expressed concerns that decisions based on AI could become
58、 biased or unreliable.Other risks could be connected to privacy violations,where facial recognition and behavior recognition may create both legal and ethical challenges.A recurring theme among respondents was the importance of embedding responsible AI practices early in the development process.This
59、 means designing systems that prioritize fairness,transparency,and data privacy from the outset,rather than integrating these considerations after deployment.The most significant risk highlighted by many was the proliferation of biased AI,which could have harmful societal consequences if not properl
60、y managed especially when applied in sensitive applications like surveillance.Several interviewees pointed to the EU AI Act as a pivotal regulatory framework shaping the responsible use of AI,particularly in high-risk areas.Most respondents viewed the Act positively,welcoming the clarity and predict
61、ability it brings.Several interviewees also called for increased regulation in other parts of the world to ensure that responsible AI practices are mandated by law on a global scale.The ethical use of facial recognition was another area of discussion,particularly in regions with stringent privacy la
62、ws.Many customers in these areas remain hesitant to adopt facial recognition technologies.While regulation was broadly acknowledged as necessary to build trust and accountability,several interviewees also stressed the need for a balanced approach to safeguard innovation while addressing critical pri
63、vacy and data security concerns.7I think that ethics in partnerships shouldnt be taken lightly.Weve turned down customers who wanted to use our technology in ways we felt were unethical.Choosing the right partners and the right customers is also a part of acting responsibly.Partner,EMEA 8KEY FINDING
64、S 9 insightsTHE STATE OF AI IN VIDEO SURVEILLANCE|14The road ahead -future trends to watchThe rapid pace of technological development in AI makes it increasingly difficult to pinpoint specific future trends.As several interviewees pointed out,the speed of innovation often makes trend forecasting see
65、m impossible.Instead,there seems to be a collective focus on adaptability and continuous learning as technology evolves.Ultimately,while the future is difficult to predict,the direction seems clear:AI solutions are not only becoming more powerful,they are also increasingly efficient,and more integra
66、ted with a broader ecosystem of technologies.Generative AI continues to transform security operations and enhance decision-makingGenerative AI has emerged as a significant area of interest,and this was also mirrored in the survey results.While several interviewees highlighted the risk that expectati
67、ons of generative AIs capabilities are inflated in some areas,the technology was broadly seen as offering promising applications,especially in security and safety.For operators working in security,generative AI will provide tools that support situational awareness and improve their ability to respon
68、d effectively to incidents.Over time,it will make automation of complex processes possible,improving operations,enhancing decision-making,and aiding in the planning,scoping,deployment,and configuration of surveillance systems.9I have seen AI models achieve superhuman attention to detail.I would put
69、them head-to-head with a person,and AI would outperform them across thousands of cameras.Partner,AmericasMoving forward I think we will see a mix of both technological advancements combined with better practices.Partner,APACSmarter AI pipelines Deep learning and large neural network models continue
70、to be pivotal in advancing AI capabilities.However,its not just about scaling up the size of these networks:the focus seems to be shifting toward building smarter and more efficient AI pipelines.These pipelines aim to reduce computational power demands while maintaining or even improving accuracy.Th
71、ese efficiency gains can be critical for broadening AIs applicability,especially in resource-constrained environments or edge-based deployments.AI and IoT convergence Another trend is the integration of AI with IoT and sensor technologies,which is driving the evolution of surveillance systems.By com
72、bining video data with inputs from sound detection,motion detection,or other sensors such as temperature sensors,systems are becoming more intelligent and responsive.This convergence allows for more proactive,context-aware surveillance solutions capable of addressing complex security challenges in r
73、eal time.KEY FINDINGS 9 insightsTHE STATE OF AI IN VIDEO SURVEILLANCE|15Deep-dive:Responsible AI in video surveillance As AI continues to transform security,safety,business intelligence and operational efficiency,the conversation around responsible AI has gained increasing importance,raising fundame
74、ntal questions about privacy,ethics,and the potential for misuse.THE STATE OF AI IN VIDEO SURVEILLANCE|KEY FINDINGS Deep-diveTHE STATE OF AI IN VIDEO SURVEILLANCE|16 Facial recognition is highlighted as a very powerful AI,but also one of the most controversial.While it has the potential to enhance s
75、ecurity and safety,it can also lead to serious privacy violations if misused.Experts noted that in regions like Europe,where privacy laws are stricter,there seems to be a greater emphasis on ensuring that AI,including facial recognition technologies,are being used responsibly.Human oversight is key:
76、Several interviewees stressed the importance of maintaining human oversight in AI decision-making processes.AI can provide valuable assistance but should never replace human judgment to ensure that ethical considerations and context-specific nuances are taken into account.Given this,AI systems must
77、be designed to support,rather than replace,humans.Transparency a prerequisite for trust:Transparency is pointed out as a key to building trust for AI systems.Customers and end users need to understand how AI operates,what data it collects,and how decisions are made.Without transparency,there is a si
78、gnificant risk of distrust,especially when it comes to sensitive applications like facial recognition.Being transparent about systems limitations and capabilities is an important part of this.One of the central themes emerging from the expert interviews is the need for responsible AI practices.Some
79、of the key topic areas that were brought up:Responsible AI also means being transparent with customers about what the system can and cannot do.Its about setting the right expectations and ensuring that AI enhances security without compromising privacy.Partner,APACKEY FINDINGS Deep-diveTHE STATE OF A
80、I IN VIDEO SURVEILLANCE|17 Data privacy and security are major concerns in using AI for surveillance,especially in regions with strict data protection laws.Interviewees emphasized the importance of handling personal data,with great care.To meet privacy regulations and ethical standards,experts agree
81、d that companies must also focus on minimizing data collection and anonymizing data whenever possible.These practices help reduce the risk of privacy breaches while safeguarding sensitive information.Many interviewees also emphasized the importance of privacy by design,advocating for AI systems that
82、 limit the need for personal data.For instance,systems could be developed to analyze patterns or behaviors rather than identifying individuals directly,achieving effective results while minimizing the collection of identifiable information.With AI systems increasingly relying on large datasets and n
83、etworked infrastructure,data security is paramount.Systems must be designed to protect against cyberattacks and unauthorized access to sensitive data.This includes adequate encryption,secure storage practices,and strict access controls,just to mention a few of the measures needed.AI enables human-au
84、gmented workflows filtering out noise and allowing humans to focus on what actually matters.Partner,AmericasWe always say that AI should act as an aid,not make the final critical decisions.A human in the loop is essential,especially in security where the stakes are high.Partner,EMEAKEY FINDINGS Deep
85、-diveTHE STATE OF AI IN VIDEO SURVEILLANCE|18 Bias and fairness in AI systems:AI systems,particularly those involving facial recognition and predictive analytics,are vulnerable to bias if not developed and tested carefully.This is especially important for the safety and security applications where b
86、iased AI can lead to false positives or unfair outcomes for individuals,such as misidentification or unequal treatment of individuals.Interviewees emphasized the need for more diverse training datasets and rigorous testing to ensure that AI systems are fair and unbiased.Ongoing monitoring and testin
87、g:Responsible AI also requires continuous monitoring and testing to ensure that systems remain fair,accurate,and unbiased.This involves regularly updating algorithms with new data and conducting audits to identify and address any potential biases.Compliance and governance in focus:As AI technologies
88、 evolve,so do the regulations governing their use.Experts highlighted that a key factor for companies deploying AI in safety and security is to stay ahead of regulatory changes and be meticulous in ensuring that their systems comply with existing and emerging laws.We are excited about edge AI.Beside
89、s improving performance,privacy is enhanced when you are not passing data through multiple different systems.Partner,APACThe EU AI Act will shape how we deploy AI,particularly in high-risk areas like facial recognition.Companies will need to invest more in compliance to ensure their systems meet the
90、se new requirements and those that will follow.Partner,EMEA Building public trust in AI is an industry-wide responsibilityPublic trust is the cornerstone of any industrys license to operate.In-depth interviews highlight that widespread adoption of AI depends on maintaining the confidence of the publ
91、ic,authorities,and policymakers.This trust must be built through responsible AI practices adopted across industries,not just by individual companies.KEY FINDINGS Deep-diveTHE STATE OF AI IN VIDEO SURVEILLANCE|19ConclusionsThe use of AI in security,safety,business intelligence,and operational efficie
92、ncy is growing rapidly,with both partners and end customers recognizing its potential and the opportunities it brings.Despite the advancements made in recent years,there remains caution around the technologys limitations and risks.A clear understanding of what AI can realistically achieve,how new re
93、gulations set the scene for future innovation,and what responsible AI means in practice is needed.THE STATE OF AI IN VIDEO SURVEILLANCE|ConclusionsTHE STATE OF AI IN VIDEO SURVEILLANCE|20The key pillars of this approach are:Human-centric with respect for human rights:AI technology should serve to en
94、hance human capabilities and contribute to a better world.AI must be designed to ensure safety and respect for people.Responsibility and accountability:We are committed to building the world we want to live in,and we acknowledge the societal impact of our work.This means that we develop,deploy,and u
95、se AI responsibly in our operations and across our value chain.We are accountable for the AI systems we create and to ensure they follow ethical principles,comply with laws,and manage risks.Responsible innovation:We never inhibit explorative technology development because we believe that overlooking
96、 opportunities carries the risk of missing out on enhancements that could benefit individuals and society.However,there is a significant difference between exploring new ideas and commercializing them.We only commercialize innovations that we ethically stand behind and are in line with our vision of
97、 innovating for a smarter,safer world.A risk-based approach:We understand that different AI technologies carry different risks.To fully grasp these risks,potential applications and use cases must always be considered before new products and solutions are made available to others.All our products and
98、 solutions undergo thorough assessment before being made available to the market.Embedded ethics:Technology will invariably outpace legislation.Given this,emphasizing ethics within culture and practices is increasingly crucial for us as responsible innovators.While ethics are deeply embedded into Ax
99、is core values,culture and ways of working,genuine responsibility also requires clear processes,governance,and transparency.Knowledge-led leadership based on partnership and collaboration:As industry leaders,we believe it is our duty to shape safe and ethical AI practices within our industry and to
100、facilitate an informed discourse on AIs capabilities,strengths and limitations and ethical dilemmas.This responsibility involves educating and sharing our expertise and learnings with others from partners and end customers to political decision-makers,civil society,and media.Axis approach to AIAxis
101、approach to AI is rooted in one overarching principle:That AI technology,just like all technologies,should leverage and augment human intelligence,build on respect for human rights and should benefit people and society.This is in line with Axis vision,to innovate for a smarter,safer world.As a compa
102、ny,we are committed to the advancement of AI driven by ethical principles.We stand by the OECD Principles on Artificial Intelligence,prioritizing transparency,trustworthiness,and the protection of human rights and democratic values.AI remains one of the most powerful and transformative technologies
103、within the video surveillance industry.While there are significant opportunities for AI to improve safety and security,operational efficiency and business intelligence,there must be a focus on ethical implementation and meaningful integrations which drive value.Mats Thulin|Director of AI and Analyti
