ArcadianAI To Replace Security Guards

ArcadianAI Challenges Verkada’s “AI Is Not Replacing Human Guards, It’s Making Them Unstoppable” Webinar With Blunt Message:

 “Unstoppable is cute. But so is denial. Fire your human guards.”

 

Toronto, Canada – June 21, 2025 — In a heated instagram response to Verkada’s recent webinar positioning AI as a sidekick to human security guards, ArcadianAI fired back with a viral message that’s shaking up the security industry:

ArcadianAI to Verkada: “We Didn’t Build AI to Babysit Humans.”

The comment isn’t just marketing snark — it’s a direct hit to legacy narratives clinging to the past. While competitors pitch AI as a co-pilot for security teams, ArcadianAI is building something bolder: fully autonomous AI employees that replace — not assist — outdated human patrol models.

ArcadianAI’s AI-native platform solves a modern problem: watching massive volumes of video and audio data at scale — without relying on costly hardware or human attention spans. In physical security, where split-second, high-stakes decisions are required, AI doesn’t just help — it outperforms.

Amazon To Replace Jobs with AI 

The company’s stance isn’t just provocative. It’s backed by macroeconomic signals.
A TechCrunch article published on June 17, 2025 revealed that Amazon plans to replace a significant number of corporate jobs with AI, marking a major shift in how businesses approach automation.

“If Amazon is replacing office workers with AI, what makes anyone think security guards are off-limits?” said Marie Roohi, CEO of ArcadianAI.

“We believe ‘jobs’ as we know them will be totally reimagined by 2030. We’re building the AI employees of the next decade — starting with physical security, and eliminating the mundane.”

ArcadianAI’s plug-and-play platform connects to any existing CCTV infrastructure — no new hardware required — and autonomously monitors, analyzes, and makes split-second, human-level decisions in real time. Their flagship product, Ranger™, is already deployed across retailers of all sizes in Canada, the U.S., and now Mexico.

Fire Your Human Guards Campaign 

The company’s controversial “Fire Your Human Guard” campaign, launched in early 2025, generated national buzz for its unapologetic tone. It was covered by major outlets including Wired, Vice, and SecurityInfoWatch, igniting widespread debate about whether the $100B+ physical security industry is overdue for AI disruption.

With rising labor costs, staffing shortages, and the growing demand for always-on, intelligent protection, ArcadianAI isn’t just a disruptor — it's positioning itself as the new default: AI Employees for Your Protection.
