Chinese scientists have developed an AI-powered robot lifeguard that operates autonomously 24/7. It uses AI, big data, and navigation technologies. The robot is being tested at a riverside location in China, where it will be permanently stationed.

The introduction of AI-powered robot lifeguards could significantly reduce the need for human lifeguards at certain beaches, leading to potential cost savings for municipalities and private beach operators.

As technology advances, the capabilities of AI lifeguards are expected to improve further, increasing their effectiveness and safety, and possibly expanding their use to more locations.
