AI Flood Prediction Models Warn Billions Facing Rising Risks
-
Nearly 2 billion people face major flooding risks as waters rise due to climate change. Coastal flooding could skyrocket by 2100.
-
AI flood prediction models study weather, nearby terrain, history, and more to make better predictions than old models.
-
Models from companies worldwide use AI to provide flooding warnings days in advance to authorities.
-
Google's Flood Hub uses satellite images and AI across 80+ countries to warn people days before flooding.
-
AI models rely on data, so places without flooding history remain at some risk. More data over time makes models more accurate.
