## Resource

Remember those grainy old baby monitors? So passé. Today, the modern nursery can be equipped with HD cameras and biometric sensors — all analyzed with artificial intelligence. The technology can detect hazardous position changes or a blanket covering a baby's face, but also tracks less critical metrics that purport to help optimize infant sleep and health. Sapna Maheshwari, business reporter at The New York Times, recently wrote about this . She's been an avid user of the Nanit Smart Baby Monitor System with both of her children. More on this “ Aw, It’s Baby’s First A.I. Surveillance System ” from The New York Times “ AI-powered IoT is creating a new security challenge ” from Spiceworks
