"Watched by AI Guards" Yard Sign Appears in LA Neighborhoods, Signaling the Rise of AI Employees -- Replacing Human Guards
Article content
SAN FRANCISCO — A bold new security yard sign from ArcadianAI, an AI security company, is drawing attention across California neighborhoods: 'Watched by AI Guards.' Unlike traditional alarm decals or video surveillance warnings, this sign signals a new era. Homes are now protected by autonomous AI employees rather than human guards or passive CCTV systems.
Article content
The initiative is led by ArcadianAI, a Canadian venture-backed security technology company with operations across North America. Its flagship product, Ranger, is the world's first fully autonomous AI security guard.

Ranger doesn't just record — it responds. Powered by advanced LLMs, behavioral modeling, and real-time decision-making, Ranger monitors footage 24/7. It autonomously detects threats, classifies incidents, and alerts authorities — all without human input.

'Honestly, it makes me feel like we're one step ahead,' said James Lui, a community safety lead in Orange County. 'We've dealt with break-ins, porch piracy, and midnight loitering. Knowing an AI guard is actually watching gives me peace of mind.'

Unlike legacy systems that rely on DVRs or remote human monitoring, ArcadianAI's platform turns existing cameras into self-operating AI security agents. It reduces false alerts, improves response time, and significantly lowers the cost of full-time monitoring.

'We've tried alarms and motion lights,' Lui added. 'But this? This actually feels like real protection.'

With crime on the rise and traditional systems proving expensive or outdated, more California homeowners are turning to AI-native security. ArcadianAI's technology is already deployed across commercial properties, places of worship, and now — private residences.

The 'Watched by AI Guards' sign isn't just a warning. It signals a shift from human-led patrols to fully autonomous protection. In a world where software can now outperform human guards in speed, accuracy, and scale, the future of home security has already arrived.

Canadian food budgets are tighter than in the U.S., survey finds

(AP Photo/LM Otero) The average Canadian household spends one-third less on food per week than its U.S. counterpart, a new survey from Leger has found. Conducted among roughly 1,600 Canadian and 1,000 U.S. respondents, the survey found that a typical weekly food budget in Canada totals C$179, while south of the border, that average looks more like US$203, or around C$277. That represents a 35 per cent, or roughly one-third decrease for Canadian budgets, compared to the United States. Beyond international differences, demographics that showed higher average weekly food budgets included Black, Indigenous and people of colour (BIPOC), university graduates and parents, Leger says. On household spending, the survey also found that Canadians were slightly more likely to say they had anxiety over rising food prices (77 per cent versus 76), more likely to accept higher prices for local goods (51 per cent versus 43) and more likely to plan their food shopping ahead (93 per cent versus 90). While roughly half of Canadian and U.S. respondents described food as 'something you need to live' (47 and 54 per cent, respectively), substantial proportions of those surveyed also said they associated it with spending time with loved ones (40 per cent and 43 per cent) and with feelings of pleasure and happiness (33 and 34 per cent). 'Food decisions are deeply personal yet strongly shaped by social and economic factors,' said Luc Dumont, Leger's senior vice-president of consumer insights, in a release. Methodology Leger conducted the CRAVE study between May 2 and 4, 2025 among a sample of 2,640 respondents, pulled from the organization's web panel. Results were weighted by factors including gender, age, region, language, education, household composition, and ethnicity. Leger notes that while a margin for error cannot be directly associated with an online survey, a comparable survey shows a margin of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points for the Canadian sample and 3.1 percentage points for the American sample, 19 times out of 20.
