They do.

I mean, there's, of course, another aspect of the AI that's called edge AI.

Digital Social Hour

So there's some specific algorithms that can run on device.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

So for example, retailers can use that for analytics within the store.

Digital Social Hour

And that doesn't necessarily have to identify any individual person.

They will just count food traffic, understand even classified gender or something that the retailer might care about around how people are moving in their stores.

And that does not mean that the fact that there's a camera does not mean that you're being surveilled.

Digital Social Hour

This can be something that runs on device and then just like reports aggregate statistics.

Digital Social Hour

So it depends on how you actually implement that.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

Yeah, we did.

Digital Social Hour
Alan from Tryolabs - AI Is Not Magic: Here’s What Real Deployment Looks Like | DSH #1768

Actually, we worked a couple of years back.

Digital Social Hour

So everybody knows that in California, the wildfires are a massive problem that not only jeopardize property and value, but also human lives.

Digital Social Hour

This affects community deeply.

Digital Social Hour

And we worked for this startup in San Francisco that went on to raise a lot of money in developing a system that can detect the early signs of wildfire.

Digital Social Hour

So these companies installing cameras in many different locations, they can actually triangulate.

Digital Social Hour

So where we see signals of smoke, they can triangulate and call the fireman.

Digital Social Hour

So in the very first moments of the fire.

Digital Social Hour

And if you can actually detect it on the first 5 to 15 minutes, the chances of it not becoming a massive wildfire is extremely incremental.

Digital Social Hour

So the idea here is that with AI, we could train custom computer vision models to detect signals of smoke in the early minutes of the fires that are very difficult to detect for the human eye.

So it's interesting that if you see the photos of how they look like,
