Seeing and Thinking: How AI Is Rewiring the Security Industry

Date: Wednesday, July 15, 2026 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT

Artificial intelligence has moved from a buzzword to a backbone in the security industry. In this one-hour session, Brian Karas, who has built and deployed AI systems at security startups worldwide, will cut through the hype to show what's actually working in the field.

Brian will cover how machine vision is changing what surveillance cameras can detect and act on and how generative AI tools are reshaping the less glamorous but business-critical work of remote monitoring, proposal development and specification parsing. Expect concrete use cases, honest discussion of limitations and practical takeaways you can apply whether you integrate, specify or operate security systems. Plus, bring your questions for a live Q&A.

Register today and discover what's working, the limitations and considerations that come with AI deployment and the trends shaping the future of the security industry.
