AI to help connect lost pilgrims in Mahakumbh
The Morning Standard
|November 22, 2024
IN an attempt to ensure safety and convenience of around 45 crore pilgrims expected to throng Mahakumbh-2025 on the banks of Sangam, the Uttar Pradesh government is digitising one of the largest congregations of people by leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) and social media platforms.
AI-powered cameras are being installed throughout the mela site to monitor the crowd and ensure 24/7 surveillance. The state-of-the-art cameras will not only bolster security but also assist in reuniting individuals who may get separated during the mela, which will commence on January 14, 2025, the day of Makar Sankranti and culminate in Mahashivratri on February 26, 2025.
In addition to AI cameras, social media platforms like Facebook and *X, will provide immediate assistance in locating lost pilgrims, streamlining the process of reuniting families during the congregation.
