Conclusion

The role of AI in DRR and DM is crucial and proved to bring positive results. While it is often perceived in the Sri Lankan context that the government authorities do not hold a mandatory obligation to prevent and address consequences of natural disasters because they are usually regarded as occurrences beyond control, the triadic collaboration of human rights, sustainable development and precautionary principle suggests that this duty goes beyond a mere act of sympathy or charity. The rights of the people to live and environment impliedly suggest that they have a right to be protected and relived from natural disasters. The governments on the other hand are under a mandatory obligation not only to channel assistance to the victims of the disasters but also to foresee possible disasters and to take precautionary measures. The rights of the people do not become suspended during disasters and the relevant authorities carry an obligation to safeguard the rights of the people irrespective of the situation, during normal times and disasters. The authorities shall carry out this duty vested within them in the best way available, and the use of AI to predict and prevent disasters and to react in the disaster situations provides one of the best ways to achieve this objective.
