Could Artificial Intelligence enable the creation of the corporate memory?

摘要

The field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has gone through a number of waves of development over time. But one enduring message about its potential is the ability of the technology to power robots to work autonomously in dangerous environments, such as nuclear facilities. The profession of the Fire and Rescue Service is based on the simple premise that its staff will work in dangerous environments. Be they areas at risk from flooding, forest or heathland fires, domestic and industrial fires (sometimes involving the release of toxic chemicals) and, more recently from an historical viewpoint, terrorism incidents. Given this obvious match between the research aims of AI developers and the dangerous environments in which firefighters have to operate, it is worthwhile exploring the degree to which AI can play a role in assisting firefighters in conducting their duties.
