flag Australia deploys AI cameras on dangerous coasts to detect drowning risks and save lives.

flag AI-powered cameras are being deployed along dangerous Australian coastlines to reduce drownings, especially among rock fishers. flag Tested in a 14-month trial at sites like Little Bay and Kiama Blowhole, the system uses real-time video analysis to detect when someone is swept off rocks or enters the water unexpectedly, triggering immediate alerts to emergency services. flag During the trial, it helped prompt a swift rescue at Malabar when fishermen were washed into the sea. flag The initiative, part of a $23 million, four-year investment by NSW with federal support, aims to combat rock fishing-related deaths, which have claimed 201 lives across Australia in the past two decades. flag Officials say the technology improves response times and is already saving lives.
