FOX NEWS - A creepy new AI system could identify shoplifters before they actually steal based on their body language.
Japanese startup Vaak has developed software, which it is already marketing to a range of retail clients, that analyzes footage from security cameras to spot fidgeting, restlessness and other body language cues that could be suspicious.
With applications becoming critical assets for modern enterprises, businesses must focus on their app capital to create differentiation and value.
According to Bloomberg Quint, the "Minority Report"-style technology uses algorithms to analyze the footage and then alerts retail staffers about potential thieves via an app, with the overall goal of preventing theft.
