South Korea is turning to artificial intelligence to help prevent suicides on Seoul's Han River bridges. AI-powered surveillance cameras can detect unusual behavior, such as someone lingering in high-risk areas, entering restricted zones, or approaching emergency suicide-prevention phones. The system instantly alerts first responders, enabling faster intervention in a country that continues to grapple with one of the world's highest suicide rates.
