How Lumana is redefining AI’s role in video surveillance
For all the progress in artificial intelligence , most video security systems still fail at recognising context in real-world conditions. The majority of cameras can capture real-time footage, but struggle to interpret it. This is a problem turning into a growing concern for smart city designers , manufacturers and schools, each of which may depend on AI to keep people and property safe.
