AI is used to fight fires in Crimea

In Yalta, artificial intelligence began to be used for early detection of fires. The "Forest Guard" system is operating in the city.

The head of the city administration, Yanina Pavlenko, said that there are 14 AI-equipped early warning systems in the city. This year, nine more cameras have been added to the five cameras of the system, writes IA SevastopolMedia.

According to the mayor, the system reacts to smoke, after which the signal is sent to the control panel of the unified dispatch service. Thus, it is possible to prevent the scaling and spread of fires, which leads to savings in time, effort and resources of responsible services, reducing damage to natural resources.

At the same time, the "Forest Guard" is able to distinguish smoke from fog and low clouds. The system is planned to be expanded.

Earlier it was reported that the National Technology Initiative Project Support Fund has identified the winners of the fourth competitive selection among technology companies developing drones. 262.5 million rubles will be allocated for the implementation of the projects. The AI-powered Air Patrol system will monitor and control drone flights, Citadel will find the enemy using neuroelectronics, and Locust will provide swarm drone control.
