Drowning causes many fatalities all around the world. Human rescuers are too slow, are not buoyant enough, and often fail to notice drowning victims. In contrast, drones with artificial intelligence can quickly provide drowning victims with a personal flotation device. A drone can include a compressed gas tank to inflate a personal flotation device and can deliver the personal flotation device to a person who is in danger of drowning.
