Swiss team tests AI warnings to help prevent landslide deaths
A team in Switzerland is testing AI early warning systems for landslides.
The systems are intended to warn people before a landslide strikes.
Landslides can put lives at risk, and earlier warnings could help people get to safety.
The work is part of efforts to use AI to improve landslide warnings.
The available information does not say how the system works or where it is being tested.
It also does not say when the tests will end or whether the system will be put into wider use.
The tests are exploring whether early warnings could help save lives.
