Japan to trial AI bear warning system after record number of attacks
Briefly

A pilot AI system in Toyama prefecture will monitor live feeds to identify bears near people and send warnings to authorities. AI will predict bear movements for proactive measures.
219 casualties and six fatalities from bear attacks occurred in 19 prefectures in the past year. Fluctuating bear food sources and rural depopulation contribute to increased human-bear encounters.
Hanamaki city trial uses AI surveillance with 30 cameras to monitor bear movement along rivers, alerting residents. Measures aim to deter bears from entering cities without harming them.
