Mincyt deploys AI to assess earthquake damage from satellite imagery

Ministry of Popular Power for Science and Technology (Mincyt)AI damage assessment earthquake response now runs at Mincyt, Venezuela's Ministry of Science and Technology, which built the system after the double earthquake of June 24. Drone and satellite feeds train the model to spot, classify and flag structural harm, plotting results onto colour-coded maps graded from critical red down to minor yellow. Output reaches the armed forces, civil protection teams and the presidential infrastructure commission, giving relief coordination a shared, geo-tagged picture of where damage is worst — a form of AI-based infrastructure damage categorisation applied directly to disaster response.

    Every entry on this page is a named organisation putting AI to work in a real job, taken from the State of Applied AI record. Each one is traced to the report it came from and dated, and where a figure is the organisation’s own the entry says so rather than presenting it as an independent result. Readiness, ecosystem and policy figures, where shown, are attributed on the card to the body that published them.

    The record is maintained continuously by the Industrial Research Unit of the Straits Institute for Applied AI: entries are added as they are found and verified, not on a schedule, and nothing is published without an open source behind it. It currently holds 1114 entries across 249 countries.
