How AI Is Used in Data Center Physical Security Today

Machine learning and artificial intelligence are touted as the cure-all for everything that ails a data center. While much of it is hype and baseless optimism, AI-powered tools are already useful and practical in some areas. Those areas include data center physical security, where AI is making a difference on three fronts: image and sound recognition, anomaly detection, and predictive analytics. Image recognition is one of the big success stories in AI, and the technology is quickly being embedded everywhere. And so is its close cousin, sound recognition.
