north.io: Pioneering Work in Munitions Clearance
A focal point of the documentary is the work of north.io. As a Kiel-based geodata cloud specialist, we have developed an innovative method to locate military remnants in the North and Baltic Seas using AI. Our CEO, Jann Wendt, shows Alex Ruda how we use historical documents and deep learning algorithms to accurately detect munitions, allowing authorities to safely neutralize them.
The Importance of AI for Safety and the Environment
The use of AI in munitions clearance significantly contributes to safety and environmental protection. Decaying depth charges and other munitions pose a threat to marine ecosystems and human life. north.io utilizes advanced technologies to identify and eliminate these dangers, which earned us the 2021 "Best of Digitales.SH" digitalization award.
