Teen in New Delhi Builds AI App to Fix Potholes

A 15-year-old in New Delhi, India developed an application that enables citizens to report potholes and automatically contacts government authorities. The app uses artificial intelligence to assess the severity of road damage.
The application not only logs the location of potholes but also generates draft emails and letters to relevant officials. This feature aims to bypass potential bureaucratic delays and ensure issues receive prompt attention.
The creator hopes the app will improve road safety and infrastructure in the city. The app is currently available for use by citizens in New Delhi, with plans for potential expansion to other cities.
