This AI security tech alerts store staff if it thinks you're trying to steal something

Key takeaways:

  • Paris-based AI startup Veesion has built a gesture-recognition system that detects suspicious movements in retail stores to help prevent shoplifting.
  • The system focuses only on how people move, not on their appearance, to avoid privacy concerns or bias.
  • It uses footage from existing security cameras and alerts store staff when it detects potentially risky behavior.
  • Veesion is already in 5,000 stores across Europe, Canada, and the United States. One store cut inventory loss by 50 percent after using it.
  • More than 85 percent of alerts have been marked as useful. The goal is to stop theft without hurting the customer shopping experience.
