Abstract: (74 Views)
Search and rescue (SAR) operations have undergone substantial transformation with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced digital technologies. From predictive analytics and autonomous systems to real-time data fusion and robotics, AI is reshaping emergency response strategies across terrestrial, maritime, and urban disaster environments. This article critically examines the role of AI and emerging technologies in modern SAR operations, focusing on operational efficiency, decision support, ethical considerations, and implementation challenges. Drawing on interdisciplinary literature in emergency management, robotics, and data science, the paper proposes a framework for integrating AI-driven systems into rescue infrastructures while addressing limitations related to reliability, governance, and human oversight. The study concludes that while AI significantly enhances situational awareness and operational speed, effective integration requires regulatory frameworks, robust training, and human-centered design to ensure safety and accountability.
