Google’s AI correctly predicts floods up to seven days early
- Google has been using AI to improve global-scale flood forecasting.
- By training machine learning models, the tech giant was able to accurately predict some floods up to seven days in advance.
- Google has used its technology to provide accurate flood forecasting in 80 countries.
You may have heard plenty about Google’s various generative AI products like Circle to Search, its AI wallpaper tool, Search Generative Experience (SGE), and more. But you may not have heard nearly as much about the other ways it is using AI, such as predicting floods. Recently, Google was able to accurately predict flooding up to seven days in advance thanks to machine learning (ML).
Today, Google announced it was able to significantly improve global-scale flood forecasting with the help of machine-learning technologies. According to the firm, it was able to improve the reliability of “global nowcasts, on average, from zero to five days.” In some cases, it was even able to predict floods a full week out before they happened.
