Fire departments turn to AI to detect wildfires faster
A growing number of fire departments across the country are turning to artificial intelligence to help detect and respond to wildfires more quickly. In Aspen, Colorado, fire officials say wildfire risk has shifted from being a seasonal concern to a year-round threat. To meet that challenge, they're using AI-powered cameras to detect smoke -- sometimes before 911 calls even come in. "They're getting a full 360-degree picture of the landscape," said Satyam. High in the mountains, rotating cameras scan the terrain for smoke.
