Why AI Adoption in Security Screening Is Stalling
Artificial intelligence is transforming industries ranging from healthcare and manufacturing to logistics and finance. Security screening is widely expected to follow the same trajectory. Yet despite rapid advances in detection capabilities, automation and data processing, adoption remains uneven across much of the security industry.
The common explanation is that the technology itself is still maturing. While there is some truth to that, it does not fully explain what is happening.

Security Screening in 2026 and Beyond: The Right Solution for the Right Environment
The security reality has shifted dramatically in recent years. Conflict, terrorism, and social instability are placing mounting pressure on both public and private organisations to strengthen their security posture. Arenas, cultural institutions, trade fairs and public venues must take protective security seriously — not merely as a legal obligation, but as a genuine responsibility.
Yet a critical question is rarely asked: Which solution is right for our organisation — and what does it truly cost over time?
