A new smartphone app called 'Safewaters.AI', is using artificial intelligence to predict and detect the risk of shark attacks. Developed by researchers at the University of Technology Sydney, the app uses machine learning algorithms and real-time data from ocean buoys and weather stations to create a risk assessment for each beach. The app then alerts users to any potential danger, providing them with time to take precautions or avoid the water altogether.

Shark attacks are a significant concern for beachgoers and surfers around the world, and app has been tested at several beaches in Australia. The results have been promising, with the app achieving an accuracy rate of 89%. The researchers hope that the app will eventually be used worldwide to help protect swimmers and surfers from shark attacks.

The lead researcher said, "We know that shark attacks can be devastating, both for the victims and the communities that rely on beach tourism. We believe that our app can help to prevent these attacks by providing accurate and timely information to beachgoers."

The app is just one example of how artificial intelligence is being used to improve safety and security in a variety of industries. As the technology continues to advance, it is likely that we will see more and more applications like this that use AI to protect and save lives. With its high accuracy rate and real-time data, this app offers a new level of protection and peace of mind to beachgoers and surfers alike.
