The proposed “unified AI platform”, the sources said, is aimed at securing borders with automated and real-time intelligence while reducing reliance on human-intensive monitoring. The system will also offer real-time insights and predict smuggling hotspots and infiltration routes for better resource allocation, operational planning and execution. The real-time surveillance using an AI-enabled system will help in the immediate analysis of the smuggling hotspots and potential infiltration routes and help commanders in decision-making,” said a BSF official. “The AI-enabled system will automatically detect intrusion and generate real-time alerts if a camera view is obstructed or blurred,” the official said. The BSF has also launched a project called Electronic Surveillance of Vulnerable Patches.
