Sheikh Hamdan explained the use of AI to tackle fires during Dubai civil defense visit

Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, has directly demonstrated how artificial intelligence is being used to combat fires and improve public safety.

Sheikh Hamdan met AI experts during his Dubai civil defense visit, the Emirates media office reported Tuesday evening.

The four-legged robot, known as The Explorer, has the ability to move autonomously through smoke and create 3D maps of the buildings during the incident, and was one of the innovations of the Dubai Crown Prince.

Dubai's civil defense has made the Emirate one of the safest cities in the world, Sheikh Hamdan said according to the media office.
