How much do we know?
A source is a published page or document behind a claim. The label measures what is documented, not whether a system is good or safe. Missing information does not prove that a safeguard is missing.

optional detailFull record and details
The interface and explanatory guides are translated. Record names, record descriptions, quotations, detailed editorial notes, and linked public documents stay in their published language so evidence is not silently changed.
What it does
An underwater remotely operated vehicle that uses computer vision to mark possible objects of interest and AI for collision avoidance.
the story
Instead of sending a diver toward every unclear shape, an operator can inspect an image and decide whether the alert deserves a closer look.
Human decides the inventory says AI output is not the principal basis for action
Facts to check
- 01
Computer vision draws a box around a suspected object of interest.
- 02
The vehicle also uses AI to avoid collisions.
- 03
A user reviews the image before deciding whether to deploy divers.
If this affects someone
The system supports underwater search and inspection while keeping deployment decisions with a human operator.
The inventory explicitly states that a user reviews the alert image and that AI output does not serve as the principal basis for action.
This operational detection tool does not produce a public eligibility or enforcement decision by itself.
Images and onboard sensor information collected by the underwater vehicle.

The score orders work, not people.
Review priority rises for rights-sensitive uses, missing sources, unanswered accountability fields, and old evidence. Strong official documentation lowers it. The score is not a verdict on safety, fairness, or legality.
A missing field means the attached public sources did not answer it. Coverage is uneven, publication does not prove performance, and a certificate has a defined boundary.
