But on the wifi thing they did not make AI that can turn any wifi router into a camera. They turned that router into a camera by having a correlating data set for that room. Now if you run a camera in your house all the time and someone has access to both then they could do it.
What is more reasonable, easier, and equally scary is you could determine if a building is occupied in general with wifi. See, your body has a different permittivity and permeability to electric and magnetic fields because it's a giant bag of electrolytic water, and it moves around. Everything else in your house is static. So like he said the presence of your body makes everything bounce different and even changes signal strength between point A and point B anywhere in your house slightly. That strength should stay static when no humans are around, but there should be some variation when humans start moving around in a house. So what you could do is make an AI to identify the thresholds and correlate levels of movement. They could tell when you aren't home to determine a time to break in. Or determine that you are out when you should be in lock down. Maybe to reduce false positives they'll give you a fit bit that reminds you to get up and move once an hour. Side bonus of the fit bit is it can track where you are like your phone, but it also reads biometrics so it can verify that it's on a person instead of left one someone's bed, and it may even know yours to make sure you didn't give it to a friend.
