Similar to the famous saying of Georges Clemenceau (“Father Victory”) that ”War is too serious a business to be left to generals”, the security matter nowadays is too serious to be entrusted to security guards, police or any personnel alone. The complexity of situations is well beyond the capacity of human eyes and brain, making modern technologies like AI suitable to play an essential role in the field work.
As is seen in the recent case of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) for example, thermal imaging technology is widely used in transportation hubs across China to detect possible carriers of the virus in a crowd with an accuracy of±0.3℃. AI technology will be used after to trace back their routes and locate the people they had close contact with, who will then be quarantined for at least 14 days to see if they have been infected.
