  • The country’s first artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning-enabled surveillance system launched last year.
  • It is designed to prevent elephant deaths on railway tracks.
  • Since its inauguration in the month of February 2024, the AI surveillance system has effectively safeguarded the very traditional migratory path in the Walayar-Madukkarai forest range.
  • Notably, no wild elephants have been killed on the two railway tracks, marking a significant success for elephant safety.
  • Now a year after commissioning, it resulted as zero elephant accidents, 5,011 AI-generated alerts, and 2,500 safe elephant crossings.
