Ring is introducing Video Descriptions, a feature that leverages AI to produce text descriptions of motion detected by its doorbell cameras. Available for Ring Home Premium subscribers in the US and Canada, this feature aims to enhance user awareness of their surroundings by explicitly noting details about detected activities, such as a person walking a dog. While intended to improve home security, the reliance on AI poses potential privacy risks, as the system learns routines and alerts users to anomalies, raising fears of misuse and data breaches.
This new feature, called Video Descriptions, employs generative AI to create detailed text summaries of motion detected by Ring doorbells and cameras.
The aim is to offload more responsibility of home security to Ring's AI by customizing alerts based on unusual activity detected at users' properties.
