• For the last century we have seen technology
  being able to replace jobs that human beings were
  performing.
• As technology advances this is starting to happen
  at a much quicker rate. Manufacturing and
  robotics have largely fully replaced what used to
  be known as factory work.
• These types of jobs for humans just dont exist
  anymore, or at the very least they make up less
  than 1 of what they used to.

• Many jobs now being performed by humans are being
  identified as jobs that could be replace by
  robots, automation and artificial intelligence. 
• Taxi drivers, retail salespersons, real estate
  sales agents are all occupations that are
  expected to have greatly reduced demand in the
  next decade.
• In this article we examine the threat of
  technology replacing the jobs performed by
  security guards and how much of a future is there
  for someone training to work in this industry.

Robot Security Guards

• Robot security guards are available now in some
  forms but are limited by the jobs they can
  perform and still dont have a high level of
  autonomy.
• Current products on the market can perform
  patrolling duties feeding imagery back to a
  control centre, they can recognise unauthorised
  personnel, they can scan environments and store
  data and utilise algorithms to detect if an
  environment has changed.

• They can even interact with humans with polite
  requests for authentication or directions for
  people needing help.
• They can work for 16 hours a day and not complain
  about their working conditions and are
  inexpensive, but they cant frisk someone.
• They also cannot pursue and detain a suspect or
  help a lost child find their parents.

• The days where we see robot bouncers in pubs and
  clubs ejecting patrons for bad behaviour are
  probably a long way in the future, unlikely to
  happen in the next few decades at least,
• So while there are certain mundane and repetitive
  tasks that can be replaced by robots, the primary
  responsibilities for the security guard should be
  safe from automation.

The Concept of Integrated Guarding

• One of the next steps towards utilising
  technology for security purposes is the concept
  of integrated guarding where machines and humans
  work together doing what they respectively do
  well.
• Security cameras and have not replaced the needs
  for security guards but have made their job
  easier and more efficient.

• This trend is expected to continue where security
  guards will not be replaced by technology but
  their roles and responsibilities will be enhanced
  and reinforced by the addition of newer
  technologies that can safely take over take over
  the more banal activities that security guards do
  not enjoy anyway.
• This concept is applicable to all jobs. Lawyers
  are investing large amounts of money in
  developing bots that can do research previously
  performed by assistants and paralegals.
• Augmentation through technology is happening in
  every industry.

Artificial Intelligence Will Be the Last Frontier
in Job Automation

• Occupations that require (among other things)
  complex judgement, real-time decision making and
  intelligent consideration will be the last to
  fall to being replaced by technology.
• The job of a security guard requires too much
  human intervention to be in a position where it
  is threatened in the same way the job of being on
  a manufacturing assembly line was.

• It isnt even at the same threat level as drivers
  in the transport industry. The industry will
  certainly change with the emergence of new
  technologies.
• In fact, it is likely that integrating new
  technology into the security industry might
  create new jobs that as of today do not exist.
• While some jobs may potentially be lost, there
  will be new ones created, but security related
  work that requires the officer to exercise good
  judgement and respond using intelligent thought
  processes is unlikely to be lost to automation
  anytime soon.
