Sorry, this is an interesting but terrible idea.

If your crib is unsafe or undersized, the solution is to make it safe by adding guardrails or buying a safer/correct sized model. Or remove the hazard entirely by putting their bed on the floor.

Adding AI/tech to catch deficiencies is not the right way to go about it. You're willing to risk injury/death in case the AI is wrong, you don't hear the beep, or there are too many false positives and you end up ignoring it?

This is the same thing as self driving. It seems good enough to that it takes your attention away - until it doesn't. And it's AI, not a model specifically trained on catching the issue.

I usually replace all my fuses with plain wire, since I know not to plug broken things in in the first place.
