The AI Impact Timeline: What to Expect
AI will automate approximately 55% of Gambling Surveillance tasks by 2028. Routine monitoring, including tracking chip movements and detecting suspicious betting patterns, will be handled by sophisticated computer vision algorithms. These systems can simultaneously monitor hundreds of tables with 99% accuracy, drastically changing the operational landscape.
The early wave of impact will see entry-level monitoring positions eliminated as early as 2026. Junior officers performing basic observation roles face displacement due to AI's superior speed and accuracy in repetitive tasks. This marks a critical turning point for those starting in the field.
Mid-wave transformation by 2028 will see the widespread adoption of AI analytics. While junior roles diminish, senior investigators with specialized fraud investigation expertise, legal testimony experience, and regulatory compliance knowledge can maintain their careers through 2030 and beyond, focusing on more complex cases.
