How AI is Teaching Cities to See
Episode 69
Tuesday, 25 August, 2026
Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing what video surveillance can achieve. In this episode, Nick Earle welcomes back David Ly, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Iveda, to explore how AI-powered video intelligence has evolved from traditional object detection into real-time situational awareness.David explains how advances such as zero-shot learning, natural language search and vision-language models are dramatically reducing deployment time while enabling cities, retailers and public agencies to solve practical operational problems from e-bike enforcement and retail theft to wildfire detection, environmental monitoring and public safety.The discussion also explores why AI adoption remains more of a business education challenge than a technology challenge, and why future success will ultimately be measured by improvements in everyday human experiences rather than technical sophistication.Key Topics & Chapters00:00 Introduction and episode overview02:00 David Ly’s refugee journey and entrepreneurial story06:00 The evolution of Iveda since the previous interview08:00 Zero-shot AI and natural language computer vision12:00 Smart city applications and e-bike enforcement17:00 Retail theft detection and behavioural AI20:00 Why AI adoption remains challenging26:00 Selling business outcomes instead of technology30:00 Fire detection and emergency response34:00 Environmental monitoring and ocean protection39:00 The future of AI and improving everyday life44:00 Closing thoughts and where to learn more
