In coming years, a comprehensive network of video cameras, motion detectors and sensors will spy upon visitors to Ayers Island in Maine.
An AI system will decide who can be trusted and who is deserving of greater scrutiny.

esearchers from the University of Maine want to demonstrate that AI may be able to provide civil authorities with comprehensive, real-time intelligence about the whereabouts of individuals and cars, and the status of buildings and other structures within a particular area.

The AI system will identify people exhibiting “suspicious behavior” as well as learn to recognize and trust regular visitors to the island.
