Description: Situational awareness refers to the ability to perceive and understand the environment in real-time, enabling individuals or systems to make informed decisions based on available information. This skill is crucial in contexts where information changes rapidly and decisions must be made swiftly. Situational awareness involves not only the perception of environmental elements but also the interpretation of that data and the anticipation of future events. Today, this capability is significantly enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI), which allows for local data processing, reducing latency and improving response speed. This is particularly relevant in various applications, such as public safety, traffic management, and healthcare, where accurate and timely information can make the difference between success and failure. The integration of technologies such as sensors, IoT devices, and machine learning algorithms enables automated systems to develop a situational awareness that resembles human capabilities, facilitating more effective responses to changing environmental conditions.
