What could make water use on farms more efficient? Artificial intelligence, according to one researcher.

Researchers in Colorado are using artificial intelligence (AI) to fine-tune crop production in the drought-challenged Colorado River Basin, with the aim of optimizing water resources and improving agricultural practices for long-term sustainability in the region. The project, funded by the US Department of Agriculture, seeks to use AI algorithms to analyze data collected on crops, soil conditions, and weather patterns, enabling farmers to adjust their irrigation practices and achieve better crop yields with less water.

AI Tool Helps Predict Wildfire Risk and Optimize Firefighting Resources Amid Canada's Worst Fire Season

AI-powered tools developed by AltaML are helping duty officers in Alberta Wildfire, Canada's forest firefighting agency, make better decisions regarding the positioning of resources to combat wildfires. The tools analyze data points and use machine learning to predict the likelihood of new fires, optimizing resource allocation and saving costs. The models have been successful in accurately predicting wildfire occurrences 80% of the time. This technology aims to improve cost efficiency and ensure resources are in the right place at the right time to respond to fires.
