The National Fire Agency said on the 30th that it will form and operate an "AI (artificial intelligence) disaster response system improvement TF (task force)" to respond to increasingly complex and large-scale disasters.
The National Fire Agency said that as major wildfires, collapse accidents, and fires have continued in disaster situations, making swift and accurate decision-making by the command all the more critical, it will pursue innovation in a response system that incorporates AI with the TF at the center.
The TF set a goal of establishing a system that immediately provides on-site, disaster-specific strategies and tactics based on AI.
The TF will be composed of three subcommittees: ▲ analysis of AI applicability ▲ building disaster response databases (DB) ▲ AI system implementation. In addition to working-level staff from the National Fire Agency and city and provincial fire headquarters, external AI expert advisers will also participate.
The National Fire Agency will operate the TF for three months, then conduct city and provincial pilot operations and research, and develop it into an "AI disaster response platform."
Acting National Fire Agency Commissioner Kim Seung-ryong said, "We will build an AI disaster response platform that is actually helpful in the field so that there is seamless response from the initial stage of a disaster through stabilization."
