Imagine a major city completely covered by a video surveillance
system designed to monitor the every move of its citizens. Now imagine
that the system is run by a fast-learning machine intelligence, that's
designed to spot crimes before they even happen. No, this isn't the
dystopian dream of a cyber-punk science fiction author, or the writers
of TV show "Person of Interest". This is Boston, on the US East Coast,
and it could soon be many more cities around the world.
In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon Bombings in April of last
year, as law enforcement and the world's media struggled to make sense
of the tragedy, the Boston Police Department contacted a company
well-known for developing innovative and cutting-edge surveillance
technology based on advanced artificial intelligence.

Behavioral Recognition Systems, Inc. (BRS Labs) is a software
development company based out of a nondescript office block in Houston
Texas, with the motto: "New World. New security."
Headed by former Secret Service special agent John Frazzini, the
company brings a crack team of security gurus to bear on its ambitious
artificial intelligence projects. With the heavy traffic of Houston's
West Loop South Freeway churning out fumes and noise just outside, BRS
Labs has developed one of the most advanced, and perhaps most sinister,
surveillance platforms known to man.
