I had a friend that almost lost his kid with a pool with a self closing gate, an object happened to get caught in the latch when someone was leaving the pool and their 2 year old capitalized on this to almost get themselves killed. They had to perform CPR and rush to the hospital.

A backup system that could alert is just another layer of the security onion.

Btw, it doesn't really sound like the problem needs a video as an input to llm. Feels like sending an image is okay. So that makes it less demanding(?)

It is amazing/horrifying to me how many people are intent on reincenting the reasons why we have UL, the FDA, the FCC, traffic laws, seatbelts, electrical codes, fire marshals and unions.

In other words, if you want AI to take over tasks of humans you either do it well or not at all.

(Thank you, yes, baby monitor -> nanny state)

I have had regular first responder refresher courses at work every two years - and i have to say: I always relearned something every two years, because not having done it (luckily no-one needed my first aid) meant I had forgotten quite a bit in those two years.

Especially how it feels to administer CPR. and how to position the person.

So not sure where you are located, but in Germany, you can volunteer to become a first aid responder for your company - they love that, because from a certain size on they must have enough of us. And you get a certificate every time you retrain (you need to do this regularly every two years, as said).

We even once hat a baby puppet for training, but I was not able to test it that time (as it was not mandatory, I wanted that the parents actually had the chance - or those planning for kids).

How on earth would this project, by itself, cause harm?

Sure, inattentive parents can lead to children hurting themselves, but that can happen while browsing gmail, or even when frigate is setup, does that mean gmail and frigate cause harm to children? Obviously not.
