It all sounds pretty dystopian:

Inside a white stucco building in Southern California, video cameras compare faces of passersby against a facial recognition database. Behavioral analysis AI reviews the footage for signs of violent behavior. Behind a bathroom door, a smoke detector‑shaped device captures audio and video, transmitting the data to a central monitoring system that flags any “suspicious” activity for further review.
