The researcher of Jusuf Kalla School of Government talking about mitigation with artificial intelligence. Natural disasters are out of the reach and influence of human beings. However, a lot can be done to minimize the loss of lives. Artificial intelligence is one viable option that can potentially prevent massive loss of lives while at the same time, make rescue efforts easy and efficient. The use of artificial intelligence in helping to minimize the big impact that occurs due to natural disasters has indeed been widely applied, especially in several such as European and American countries. Current examples that are already widely used in assistance are drones, robots, and sensors that can provide intelligent and accurate information about damaged landscapes and buildings. This allows rescue workers to understand the topography of the landscape and the extent of damage to buildings. Drones can be used to locate victims trapped in debris allowing rescue workers to quickly reach them. Besides, one of the products of artificial intelligence that can be utilized is IoT devices, and sensors measure environmental changes – such as atmospheric temperature, relative humidity, and carbon dioxide levels – allowing for early-stage detection and warning. They also provide valuable forest and climate parameters for fire propagation models.
