AI Startup Uses Tech to Predict and Prevent Shoplifting

AI Startup Uses Tech to Predict and Prevent Shoplifting

Imagine a computer program that watches store security cameras to spot people who might be planning to steal.

A company called Veesion created this AI, which looks at how people move their bodies.

It doesn't need to know what people look like, just how they're moving.

If someone's actions seem suspicious, like hiding something, the AI alerts store staff.

This system is used in thousands of stores to help prevent shoplifting and even reduce employee theft.

By using AI, stores can potentially reduce losses from theft and also potentially reduce staff needs because of the automated process.
