Survey on the use of AI in LEWS

News received from
Anika Braun (TU Berlin, Germany)

Exploring the status of the use of Artificial Intelligence in Landslide Early Warning Systems

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become increasingly important across many fields in recent years, including landslide monitoring and early warning.

In her Bachelor’s thesis, a student of Technische Universität (TU) Berlin, Germany, wants to investigate how AI is already being used in operational landslide early warning systems (LEWS), as well as the concerns and challenges related to AI use. To support this research, she created a short survey for organizations that operate, manage, or are otherwise involved in these systems, whose insights are extremely valuable.

Key Information about the survey: 

  • Participation is anonymous
  • It takes about 5-10 minutes
  • Results will be used solely for academic purposes
  • The survey will remain open until 17 May 2026

We would greatly appreciate it if you could take this survey and share it with colleagues or networks who might also provide valuable insights. Thank you for your support. For further questions, please contact Anika Braun at TU Berlin anika.braun@tu-berlin.de (thesis supervisor).
