How long did it take for the employee take to push the silent alarm? Seconds count. (I realize you have no idea and simply made that up anyway. We don't know if someone did push the alarm.)

Look at the grainy pictures.

"Our system zooms in on people who carry firearms. In addition, our network of cameras coordinate and will take several pictures from different angles and zoom levels. Furthermore, our AI looks for identifying features (e.g. moles) on the suspect's face, arms, etc"

How many bank robberies and convenience store robberies are there every year in the US? Why stop there? There's lots of gun violence in the US that lends itself to AI based security.

Who cares about bank and store robberies? Employees hand over the money and clock out; customers continue on with their lives. Very few humans suffer, and the ones that do suffer can afford a haircut.

A better use of AI based law enforcement might be targeted against corporate+government institutions which actually harm people at scale.

Bank and store owners, for one.

Build whatever business you want. Thousands of companies are started every year.

Who are your customers?

Obviously it's not as simple as just spotting a gun. Some people carry openly.
