A Hiker Was Missing for Nearly a Year—Until an AI System Recognized His Helmet

wired.com Marta Abbà 2025-12-17 10:30:00

How long does it take to identify the helmet of a hiker lost in a 183-hectare mountain area, analyzing 2,600 frames taken by a drone from approximately 50 meters away? If done with a human eye, weeks or months. If analyzed by an artificial intelligence system, one afternoon. The National Alpine and Speleological Rescue Corps, known by it’s Italian initialism CNSAS, relied on AI to find the body of a person missing in Italy's Piedmont region on the north face of Monviso—the highest peak in the Co

This story originally appeared on Inside Climate News and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. “We will drill, baby, drill,” President Donald Trump declared at his inauguration on January 20. Echoing the slogan that exemplified his energy policies during the campaign, he made his message clear: more oil and gas, lower prices, greater exports. Six months into Trump’s second term, his administration has little to show on that score. Output is ticking up, but slower than it did under the Bi
