Artificial intelligence should prevent drownings in swimming pools. At least that is the fervent wish of the developers of the AI lifeguard. The system works with cameras above the pool that continuously analyze the behavior of swimmers. As soon as someone shows abnormal behavior, for example staying under water for too long or no longer moving forward, an alarm immediately goes off. The AI lifeguard was developed at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven and is now operational in 15 swimming pools in the Netherlands. Reporter Hein Keijser tests the system in the De Viergang Pijnacker swimming pool. Please note: the video may contain disturbing images.
