ISS hosts educational symposium on AI

Intelligent Security Systems (ISS) hosted another SecurMiddleEast event, this time focused on the topic of artificial intelligence and its integration within the security industry

Following the tremendous success of the SecurMiddleEast series, ISS along with its leading technology partners Dell Technologies and Intel – and with the support of Security Middle East Magazine – hosted its latest addition to the informative series.

ISS’s educational symposium was held at the Intercontinental hotel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in the final week of January. The Good, The Bad & The Ugly: An examination of AI’s progress in the security sector focused on the application of artificial intelligence in the critical universe of security.

The event brought together five influential thought leaders who were able to share their own experiences and lessons learned when it came to realworld AI deployments. Sharing their insights with the audience were: n Abdulrahman Alarifi, General Manager of Systems Engineering and Artificial Intelligence at TAHAKOM; n Dr. Mohammed Aladalah, PhD, Video Analytics Expert; n Turki M. Al Shalhoub, BSc, MSCJ, MA(SSP), Senior Manager of Safety and Security at Diriyah company; n Hani Khalaf, Chief Technical Officer of IoT at Dell Technologies and; n Aluisio Figueiredo, Chief Executive Officer at ISS – Intelligent Security Systems

The symposium was chaired by Richard Burns, Chairman of ISS, who led discussions on the promise and perils of machine learning and AI on video intelligence and cybersecurity.

The inspiring speakers shared real-life use cases with the audience, from traffic control to biometrics, as well as discussed what was behind the growth of AI and how it was being applied. It’s clear that its application to a multitude of security services will drive the industry forwards, but the panel were quick to dismiss the idea that it could spell the end of a career for security professionals. issivs.com

The overall opinion was that artificial intelligence is presenting an opportunity, an opportunity to supercharge security operations and for it to work intelligently alongside security teams.

Following panel discussions and presentations there was also the opportunity for the audience to ask their questions and gain valuable insight from the leaders who are forging ahead in the world of AI-powered security.

The SecurMiddleEast Symposium’s audience was a remarkable group of both international and Saudi-based experts on AI and security, including end users, technology vendors, as well as corporate and government leaders.
