We hear about AI lifeguards spotting danger on Israel’s beaches, weather forecasts for fishermen on Lake Victoria, and creches to keep children safe in Bangladesh.
We hear how AI lifeguards are helping to spot danger on Israel’s beaches, while on Lake Victoria special forecasts for fishermen are saving hundreds of lives. Meanwhile in Bangladesh, community creches and bamboo swimming stages are reducing deaths among children – the group at highest risk of drowning. It’s estimated that 320,000 people around the world die in the water each year.
