Japanese AI can detect who is preparing to steal in the supermarket
- Tram Ho
Thieves who are still comfortable with their “rambutan” talents should probably be afraid of because a Japanese start-up recently created artificial intelligence software (AI) that can detect signs early. of a thief.
A Japanese start-up recently announced the creation of a special artificial intelligence (AI) software capable of analyzing camera footage to monitor and detect suspicious behavior, thereby preventing theft before even the thief can “throw” something.
The software called VaakEye of the Vaak start-up was first tested at a convenience store in Yokohama, Japan in December 2018. Only for the first time, it helped the shopkeeper detect a thief. It was an 80-year-old man. The man was arrested by police a few days after he was found stolen from the store.
Recently, VaakEye has been more widely tested in many stores in Tokyo. Vaak expects to apply the software soon at about 100,000 stores across Japan in the next 3 years.
Vaak founder Ryo Tanaka believes that the company’s AI software will become an effective tool to eliminate crime from social life.
It is known that VaakEye uses complex algorithms and is trained with over 100 thousand hours of video surveillance. It will conduct analysis of more than 100 different elements of a person, from face, clothes, movement, unusual behavior of the suspect in the store.

According to IT Media software company, VaakEye has helped detect at least 7 burglaries in the store since 12/12/2018. The effect from this software helps to reduce up to 75% of shoplifting incidents.
However, the purpose of creating VaakEye was not to assist the police, but only to assist shopkeepers in preventing early illegal acts. For example, after VaakEye issued a warning, employees could approach suspicious objects to “hit” and cause them to abandon their intention to steal.
In addition to the anti-theft mission, start-up Vaak is planning to continue to improve VaakEye by adding some new functions, including the ability to analyze how consumers respond to products. in the stall. Or VaakEye can also be used to detect suspicious signs of terrorism, suicide or unexpected accidents.
