2025: Strengthening slope security

Russia For the ski championship, to sport AI services have strengthened the security of the slopes of the resort Cuffer"," the presence of cameras on the tracks for the smart system has been increased to 85%.. This was Sber announced on February 13, 2025.

AI services are combined into a system: solutions based on computer vision are able to analyze data from surveillance video cameras, audio services analyze the radio broadcast, and geoservices track the location of rescuers.

AI services help monitor the situation at tourist sites in order to promptly respond and provide the necessary assistance if necessary. So, the AI rescuer helps tourist objects to quickly respond to any negative events on the ski slopes: falls, collisions, going outside the tracks, etc.

As of February 2025, a set of solutions is piloted at the Manzherok all-season resort of Sberbank in the Altai Republic. If an incident occurs, the system instantly sends a signal about the incident to rescuers and transmits commands to them on the radio in natural language.

{{quote 'author=said Stanislav Kuznetsov, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Sberbank. | Every athlete, tourist and outdoor enthusiast should feel safe and be sure that, if necessary, they will be helped in time. Artificial intelligence technologies help us provide such protection. We began to apply new AI solutions on the slopes of the Manzherok resort in Gorny Altai. We also plan to expand the use of smart technologies on the summer tracks of the resort to ensure safety on cycling and walking routes. I am sure that artificial intelligence is able to provide invaluable assistance in the development and tourism infrastructure of the country,}}

The AI system displays the situation in real time on the digital twin of the slopes. This is an assistant that allows you to coordinate and guarantee the fastest possible provision of qualified assistance.

For example, if a person lies on a slope for more than 10 seconds, the system recognizes this as an incident and sends a signal to rescuers. If the emergency situation is confirmed, rescuers ― as quickly as possible in an average of 3 minutes, arrive at the scene. In 2025, the resort rescue team was certified as a professional emergency rescue formation, trained and equipped according to international standards at the level of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Certification is not required, but this may become a new level of service in the country's tourism market.

In addition, this season the resort began to use to fence the routes of the network with fluorescent coverage, which increase the safety of riding in bad weather and evening.

AI services can work both in the cloud and integrate into the current IT infrastructure. They were developed and patented by the Center for Artificial Intelligence of the Sberbank Services Block. Smart solutions are also able to identify uncertain riding of people on the slopes, violation of speed limits and other risk situations that can lead to falls and injuries. Such tourists can be advised to undergo training with an instructor or change the track to a lighter one.

In the future, it is planned to expand the functionality of AI services. For example, smart solutions can help optimize the workload of lifts, restaurants, rental points and reception. Pilot operation of AI services on the ski slopes of the Manzherok resort will last until March 31 ― based on the collected data from 60 CCTV cameras, Sberbank will continue to train neural network models.
