The sheer volume of data from next generation communication tools and sensors risks overwhelming or distracting first responders from their critical activities. Information overload creates obstacles for first responders to perform their duties safely and efficiently. To address this challenge, artificial intelligence (AI) can provide tailored situational awareness to first responders at the scene. S&T and Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC)’s Centre for Security Science (CSS), together with NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Hastings-Quinte Paramedic Services, conducted a field experiment in June 2019 to test an AI app, Assistant for Understanding Data through Reasoning, Extraction and Synthesis (AUDREY), in Hastings County, Ontario, Canada.
