Michael "Mike" Kunka attended Midway High School, where he was a member of the National Honor Society and the Student Council. In 2018, Michael Kunka worked as a lifeguard at the only country club in Waco, Texas.
To make the job of a lifeguard easier and save more lives, the alumni of the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel have developed an AI-based lifeguard system. This technology, known as Sightbit, enables lifeguards to monitor thousands of swimmers simultaneously. It also helps to identify possible hazardous situations.
As of 2020, The Israel Nature and Parks Authority utilized Sightbit along with a coastline distance of five miles in Palmachim National Park. Developers say that the use of Sightbit along this coastline is the creation of the first smart beach. Sightbit works via standard cameras covering a specific area and transmitting real-time data through monitors in the lifeguard tower. When swimmers may be in danger, the system sounds alarms, and the cameras zoom in for a better view, allowing the lifeguards to stop relying on the manual use of binoculars.
