What exactly is the problem they're trying to solve here?

If it's just calling in or out, electronic tripwires, ground sensors and cameras are enough. Why would AI come into the picture?

Or is this one of those old-men-trying-to-use-buzzwords situation? "We are going to employ generative AI machine learning blockchain cloud technology"?

Exactly this! No need for AI, just some sensors should be plentiful.

Yeah we've had the technology to do this better than humans for decades. Machine learning would be an unnecessarily complicated solution.
