Really sharp framing of the organiztional readiness problem. The shift from individual skill to system-level coordination is where most implementations stumble. I've watched a retail client deploy similar tech only to discover their escalation protocols were still built for the old model where one person owned detection and response. The gap betwene seeing and acting turned out to be a protocol issue, not a sensor one, which is exacly what this piece nails.
That gap between seeing and acting is really critical to understand if the tool (the AI-enabled camera) is going to support the outcome (a prevented attack). Thanks for highlighting that.
That gap can be a double-edged sword if it isn't acknowledged. It has stopped organizations (including those that had advance warning of an imminent threat) from acting. And it has led to poorly initiated responses in which the context around the observation wasn't communicated or articulated effectively.
But those are also really clearly scoped problems that an organization can address and, as a result, get the most out of these tools.
AI to accelerate threat detection is a positive innovation. The failure of human intelligence to process and act effectively on emerging threat data remains a tough challenge. I wrote about that in relation to school violence here:
