Google Expands Flood and Wildfire Tracking to More Countries

WIRED

A gaggle of new AI projects are coming soon from Google, including disaster monitoring tools and a service that uses machine intelligence to generate custom videos. The company announced the array of initiatives at its AI@ event this week. The most practical development: Google is expanding its AI-powered disaster tracking and response systems. The company rolled out a wildfire tracking tool during the apocalyptic 2020 fire season. The tool aims to track wildfire movements in real time using satellite imagery, on-the-ground data, and AI predictions.
