How AI can transform Access Control Systems
sibilities will emerge and users
themselves will likely discover use
cases we haven't even thought of
yet."
Human oversight
still essential
Persson is careful to stress that AI
does not make decisions on its own.
"It must be told what to
do whether that's to trigger an
alert, send a message, or initiate
a lockdown," he explains. "These
escalation chains require human
decision-making. AI doesn't replace
that."
He continues:
"We can't assume AI will solve
everything. You still have to tell it
what to look for. If someone who
normally comes to the office five
days a week suddenly stops show-
ing up, the AI can detect it but
it won't know if it's something
that needs reporting. You have
to define what's important. You
could say AI knows everything,
but it doesn't know what you
want to know. Just like with
ChatGPT, it's all about asking
the right questions."
With AI, you can imagine a system that continuously analyses event logs, learns what's
normal, and automatically raises alerts when something unusual occurs."
Daniel Persson, Business Development Director EMEA/APAC at Acre Security, is convinced that AI will make access control systems more user-friendly.
