AI is revolutionizing all industries -- including security, moving it beyond reactive measures. This presentation dives into the acceleration of AI since ChatGPT first made waves as well as the different types of AI that currently exist. The presentation then highlights five pivotal trends in the security industry: AI-powered video analytics, analytics at the edge, intelligent sensor fusion, automation and orchestration of security operations, and cybersecurity integration with physical security. These advancements are creating more intelligent, proactive, and resilient security ecosystems. With these advancements and their current pace though, it's also vital to be aware of the implications and potential risks of AI.
