California deploys AI to detect wildfires before they start spreading::AI and climate change represent two ways humans may ravage life as we know it on Earth, but the former can also help with the consequences of the latter.
I asked ChatGPT a question. Now I’m powered by AI.

I have a better AI model. I ask it where the start the fire will start, then I go there to start the fire myself.
Controlled burns are unironically based and a good way to cut down on old biomass that can cause these huge uncontrollable wildfires
I feel like they have to put “AI” (the word, not the meaning of it) everywhere. It’s just the new buzzword, we still have to see some positive effects of AI. It just seems they have to throw it out because it’s the new thing.
Uh I mean, statistical machine learning models are used in tons of places and have been for a while now. There’s plenty of positive effects to be had. It’s just called “AI” without further clarification.
I’m sure what they are doing here is developing one such machine learning model to improve their detection.
And to me it seems like wildfire detection is a good contender to be improved by machine learning.
Sure, it is good in this regard Still it seems like the term “AI” is being thrown around way too much
