From spotting weapons and detecting smoke to predicting where incidents are most likely to occur, artificial intelligence is reshaping the future of physical security. In this episode of Today in Tech, host Keith Shaw and guest James Benum explore how AI-powered cameras, drones, and large language models are improving response times, reducing false alarms, and helping security teams work smarter.

They also discuss the balance between safety and privacy, the convergence of cyber and physical security, and why humans will always play a vital role in protecting people and property.
