Former Ring CEO Jamie Siminoff(Jamie Siminoff) returns to the company he once sold to Amazon, driven both by concerns over the potential of artificial intelligence and by personal tragedy caused by the Palisades wildfire. Ring is shifting from video doorbells to home-oriented AI "smart assistants," introducing features such as fire alerts, pet location AI, and facial recognition. While tools like Fire Watch help with disaster response, new collaborations with Flock Safety and Axon have also given law enforcement agencies access to user videos again, raising privacy concerns. Siminoff argues that these permissions are voluntarily granted by users and are vital for public safety.
