Moscow proposed using AI to identify terrorists
Legal standards for regulating security systems in public networks are very outdated and should be supplemented with a number of articles.
Artyom Lekarev, head of the section of Intelligent Security Systems at the NSS Guild of the Moscow Chamber of Commerce and Industry, stated this during a press conference in Moscow, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“They talk a lot about the anti-terrorism protection of various objects, but there are very few useful actions. In the same shopping centers there are certain instructions, safety data sheets, and certain technical means are used.
But the regulatory framework on which all this was created is very outdated. Let’s say the same decree of the Government of the Russian Federation specifies the requirement: “a video surveillance system, taking into account the number of cameras installed and their location, must provide continuous video surveillance of the state of the situation on the territory of a retail facility, and archiving and storage of data.” That's all.
With such a vague formulation, you can install three cameras, make an archive for one day, and, in principle, this will comply with the law.
Now, of course, new standards for such anti-terrorism protection are needed. Regular audits of technical systems and the work of the security service are necessary. This is also not written down anywhere,” Lekarev said.
He emphasized that artificial intelligence systems are already being developed that can identify armed criminals in advance.
“These new standards should include the connection of most video cameras of a retail facility to a safe region, where there is constant video surveillance monitoring, where certain analytical algorithms can be connected.
And analytical algorithms can be linked to weapon detectors. Now such systems are already quite developed. They can, of course, give false positives, but in general they are quite effective. You can get information in advance, on the approaches to the building, that people with weapons have landed.
And that would give an extra three to four minutes, which would allow people to get out of the building. It is clear that there would still have been some casualties, because the security of the shopping center is not designed to fight armed assault groups.
Facial recognition systems are still used today, but the systems operate independently of each other. There are separate systems in shopping malls, separate systems in commercial networks, and there is a state system. But all this is not united into a common system,” the expert concluded.
