or 'Artificial intelligence for security'

Is there anyway to simplify some of the
longer section headings? Those headings seem like they might be difficult to link to, and don't quite follow Wikipedia conventions.

The article gone-through and re-written from its original in order to make it readable by a non-technical reader. There is no appearance of prolix or jargon or any attempt to make things sound more complicated. In a topic such as this there is a whole universe of possible technical terms, acronyms and technicality. None of that is present. This is a rendering of the subject in the most accessible way, respecting the reader's intelligence, while making no presumptions of any specialized knowledge on their part. There is no requisite of advanced knowledge in order to understand the article.
Although the standards of an encyclopedia allow a somewhat higher level of reading ability than those of daily newspapers, this article could be understood by a typical newspaper readership. When compared to many articles in Wikipedia that are much more technical and yet not marked with a warning of technicality, it is apparent that to maintain a uniform standard throughout as much as possible, this warning should be removed. The purpose of the article is to inform. To make it any less technical would reduce it to jingoism such as "Artificial intelligence for video surveillance (or security) is like computers or robots watching cameras that watch people to see if something bad is happening." That would surely meet the "non technical" warning's goals but at the same time would render the article as not useful. I would consider removing that is light of this clarification.
