Dr. Manjeet Rege, professor and chair of the Department of Software Engineering and Data Science, and director of the Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence, spoke to WCCO-TV about the implementation of AI in the Minnesota Capitol security systems. AI is expected to provide enhanced safety for lawmakers and visitors.
From the story:
“AI security detection works by analyzing the shape, the density, and the material composition of objects as people walk through a scanner,” Rege said.
Rege said AI-based screening is becoming the new standard in many sectors, but a hybrid model including metal detection and human involvement is part of the equation.
“The key point is that AI enhances human judgement rather than replace it,” he said.
