An 'artificial intelligence (AI) suicide prevention system' that detects dangerous situations by analyzing the behavioral characteristics of those trying to make extreme choices saved the lives of those in their 40s who tried to turn their backs on the world.



According to the city of Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do, on the 3rd, the AI ​​system discovered a woman in her 40s who tried to jump over the bridge railing while wandering around the Chungmu Bridge in Tongyeong-si around 11:17 pm on the 1st.



Mr. A said that after she wandered the Chungmu Bridge once, she left the scene, and 20 minutes later, she returned and she made an extreme choice.



She said that when an AI system that had learned a variety of extreme selection attempts behavior patterns, such as a person climbing on the railing of a bridge, found Mr. A, she immediately issued a danger alert to the Disaster Safety Situation Room of Tongyeong City Hall.



The officer on duty immediately reported it to 112, 119, and the Coast Guard.

This is because we plan to deploy rescue personnel on land and at sea in case of emergency.



The police, who arrived at the scene within 7 minutes of receiving the report, persuaded Mr. A to return home safely.



The city of Tongyeong introduced her Ms. A to a psychiatric counseling program run by a local health center so that the same thing would not happen again in the future.



Meanwhile, the 'AI Suicide Prevention System' operated by Tongyeong City is one of the specialized projects for building an integrated smart city platform in 2021.



It is a system that detects risky behavior in advance by learning and analyzing extreme selection behavior characteristics based on AI deep learning.



To prevent extreme choices, Tongyeong City removed background noise from CCTV images of Tongyeong Bridge and Chungmu Bridge, and continuously learned basic human behavioral characteristics and risk behavior data to AI.



Recently, deep learning techniques were extended to improve the speed of CCTV image analysis and compilation (computer language code conversion) to shorten the object analysis time and increase the accuracy.



The city of Tongyeong said, "We are trying to prevent suicide using convergence AI technology to prevent the disgrace of being the first in the OECD suicide rate and the unhappiness of the families of the deceased." "he said.



Meanwhile, the 'AI Suicide Prevention System' will be additionally installed on the Saryang Bridge in Saryang-myeon this year.
