France employs AI in drone engineering to cut drowning incidents
France has begun testing drones equipped with artificial intelligence technology to monitor individuals at risk of drowning and to automatically throw lifebuoys to them when needed. This effort aims to reduce the number of drownings, which have increased following three consecutive heatwaves since last May. The drones operate autonomously and can cover distances of up to 2.5 kilometers along the shoreline. They are equipped with thermal cameras and GPS systems, and can send audio messages and deploy automatic lifebuoys when necessary. France is expected to expand the use of this technology by next summer, with the goal of decreasing deaths and injuries resulting from drowning incidents during the summer season.
