How Google has been using AI to successfully predict floods 7 days before they hit
Google has unveiled that for months now, they have been using AI to draw inferences over natural disasters for weeks now. At times, they have made successful predictions at least seven days in advance Google has unveiled that is has been successfully using artificial intelligence in predicting riverline floods for quite some time now. Google overcame this hurdle by harnessing machine learning models trained on diverse datasets encompassing historical events, river level measurements, elevation data, and terrain readings, among other variables. While Google has effectively developed highly precise models tailored to specific locations, its aspirations extend to addressing the global flood prediction challenge. Collaborating with academic researchers, the company aims to optimize its AI-driven approach, envisioning the development of a comprehensive “global end-to-end flood forecasting platform.” Google’s pioneering efforts in leveraging AI for flood prediction not only signify a significant technological advancement but also hold promise in mitigating the impact of one of the world’s most devastating natural disasters.
