Amazon Ring CEO Liz Hamren on AI and the future of home monitoring

Vehicle detection and video search are two examples of upcoming features that Amazon’s Ring is developing with help from artificial intelligence, Ring CEO Liz Hamren tells GeekWire in her first interview since succeeding founder Jamie Siminoff in the role last year.

An engineer and business leader, Hamren is a veteran of companies including Microsoft, Oculus, Discord, and Dropcam, where she led marketing a decade ago, before its sale to Google — leaving her with what she describes as “unfinished business” in home cameras.

On a new episode of GeekWire Podcast, we talk with Hamren about Ring’s direction under her leadership; the tension between security, privacy and new features; and how advances such as AI and drones are reshaping this part of the tech industry.
