Life safety infrastructure installation, inspecting and service require a very real-world presence to perform. With the combination of to-code knowledge and physical system interaction unless the AI has a highly dexterous and physically complex chassis to move it around I can not see AI effectively installing, servicing or inspecting life safety systems.

There is almost no way to practically (and economically) automate the action of installing physical devices (alarms, smoke detectors), programming fire alarm control panels, running wires, and testing the system.

Smoke detectors require manual testing and smoke to be put through. Even if catridges were used they would require replacing

Cabling requires fitting, breaks in cable require repairing. Devices need fitting, replacing, over desks etc

How does a robot remove a ceiling tile, go above the ceiling, navigate around plant equipment, test the devices, return the ceiling tile, reminder its pitch black above ceilings and 90% of sites have devices fitted but not where they say they are.
