AI tool helps stranded protesters find their way home in the Indian capital

In New Delhi, a 19-year-old woman was detained during protests demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged electoral-roll irregularities that removed 133 million people from voter lists. Taken with other protesters about 50km from the demonstration site, she was left alone on a dark road without cash and with a dead phone. Volunteers helped her get home using an AI-assisted tool; she recognised one of them from videos he had posted online and trusted the group enough to accept a ride. The report notes the risks women face in New Delhi, where an average of three rapes are recorded each day.
