SismoAyuda está desarrollando una herramienta de orientación asistida por inteligencia artificial (IA) con el objetivo de reducir la dependencia de voluntarios durante los primeros instantes de una emergencia, filtrando los reportes ciudadanos según el nivel de criticidad de los daños. Los ingenieros siguen tomando todas las decisiones estructurales. Estas decisiones son fundamentales para la seguridad de las personas, por lo cual no han sido automatizadas. La herramienta está diseñada para ser reproducible en otros países, mediante estándares de inspección configurables y licencias abiertas, para que pueda implementarse en menos de 72h tras el desastre.
