Sony Introduces AI Anti-Slip Suggestions to Enhance Safety in Public Areas. Tokyo, Japan — Sony announced a new AI-powered system designed to reduce slip-and-fall accidents in crowded spaces. The technology analyzes real-time data from cameras and sensors to detect slippery surfaces like wet floors or icy walkways. It then sends instant alerts to facility managers or staff through a mobile app.

The system uses advanced image recognition to identify hazards such as spilled liquids, uneven surfaces, or weather-related risks. It works in both indoor and outdoor environments. Sony tested the technology in several Tokyo train stations during peak hours. Early results showed a 40% drop in accidents over three months.

A Sony spokesperson said the goal is to prevent injuries before they happen. “Slips and falls cause millions of injuries yearly. This tool helps staff act faster,” they added. The AI adapts to different locations, learning patterns like high-traffic zones or weather changes. It does not store personal data, focusing only on safety risks.

The company plans to offer the system to airports, shopping malls, hospitals, and schools first. Pricing details remain undisclosed, but Sony mentioned flexible plans based on facility size. Talks are ongoing with major retailers in Europe and North America.

Maintenance teams can use the alerts to deploy clean-up crews or post warnings instantly. The AI also provides risk-level forecasts, helping sites prepare for busy periods or storms. Sony aims to install the system in 50 locations across Japan by early 2025.

Experts say proactive safety tools are gaining demand as cities grow denser. Sony’s move aligns with global trends toward smart infrastructure. The tech giant plans updates to include multilingual support and integration with existing security systems. Trials in partnership with urban developers will begin in Osaka next month.
