Bay area residents turn to artificial intelligence to stop crime amid burglary surge, police shortages

'Fox & Friends' co-hosts criticize liberal San Francisco Mayor London Breed after she claimed crime statistics were taken completely out of context and that her city is being targeted. Residents and business owners in California's Bay Area are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence to combat a surge of burglaries and robberies along with police staffing shortages, with one security company telling Fox News Digital its sales of AI-based surveillance have been through the roof. Deep Sentinel, a Pleasanton, California-based company providing AI-based security nationwide, told Fox News Digital that business tripled during the coronavirus pandemic and that trend has continued ever since as burglaries and robberies continue to plague San Francisco and the Bay Area in general. "I would say that the business segment has just skyrocketed in the past year," Tomasz Borys, Deep Sentinel's vice president of marketing, told Fox News Digital. "The way that works is these cameras come with a sensor, so when there's an object that goes in front of the camera, it will trigger the artificial intelligence really quickly within a millisecond and determine what the object is," Borys explained.
