A friend’s 9th grader in Maskachusetts, to her father, regarding a 2 pm end-of-school-year party: “Can I tell my friends’ parents there will be parental supervision?” My friend had to commit to being home so that the studious youngsters wouldn’t go Full Hunter Biden in the TV room.
In a variation of Why doesn’t ChatGPT tell us where to find items in our houses? (cameras all over the house keeping track of where items have been set down) why not delegate the supervision of teenagers to cameras/AI? There could be a database table of possible transgressions, e.g., “CP1” for “crack pipe prepared but not lit”, and then a locally run model (for privacy, the videos wouldn’t leave the house) would look for each situation. Parents in MA, CA, NY, and DC area could adjust the AI so that it flagged cisgender heterosexual sex acts but allowed 2SLGBTQQIA+ exploration (a one-click “bathhouse mode“?).

This is similar to a thought I had about 10 years ago when computer vision (not full AI) was becoming more powerful than just detecting product flaws on an assembly line. Why doesn’t the security camera in the 7-11 call the cops or fire department when it detects a serious problem like a robbery or a fire? Why wait for the clerk to make that call if an AI camera system can detect it? I have to believe such technology is available already. There might be some false positives, so I would recommend sending the feed to the appropriate emergency department for a quick human review before dispatch, but that should work. I haven’t seen this deployed, yet. It’s coming, I am sure. Then the quick dispatch drones to keep an eye on the perp as he tries to get away.
The drone idea is genius! There can be a drone garage in the roof of every 7-11 and gas station. The drone will follow the perp until the police are finished with the mostly peaceful “No Kings” protest on the other side of town and ready to catch up to the 7-11 inequality reducer.
