Nonprofit Aims to Provide Clean Water for 500 Million Using AI by 2030
• A new nonprofit, Earth05, is using AI to help solve the global water crisis and improve water access for 500 million people by 2030
• 2.2 billion people currently lack access to safely managed drinking water, and demand is expected to greatly outpace supply by 2030
• AI can optimize water delivery systems, detect leakages, predict contaminant spikes, improve irrigation, and analyze crop suitability
• AI and virtual reality can also be used for public education to illustrate the urgency of the global water shortage
• Climate change is exacerbating water supply issues by increasing droughts and floods, which contaminate supplies
