Google to use AI to predict natural disasters

Google has provided a service for many years which provides alerts about natural disasters. This has been in the form of warnings provided by government agencies, which have been incorporated into its apps like Maps and Search. Google is now moving a stage beyond this regurgitation of information towards providing its own alerts based on its own analysis of climatic conditions. As the first wave of Google's use of artificial intelligence to predict natural disasters, The Verge reports how the technology firm will be working with the Central Water Commission of India. The service will inform Google users about impending floods.
