Saving people from natural disasters may now be easier than ever. In fact, Google has taken a big step towards disaster prediction in its latest Earth AI update. The company has integrated Gemini AI into its Earth app. Gemini AI has been trained with years of global satellite, weather and population data. With this, it can not only detect disasters, but also help save the people most affected.
How will this technology work?
This entire technology is based on geospatial logic. This allows AI to study Earth app data, including maps, weather forecasts, population density, and buildings in an area. With this, AI can predict the possible situation during a storm or flood in an area. Another unique feature of this technology is that it not only estimates the path of the storm or flood but also estimates the number of people affected.
Common people can also use it
This app will provide important information to the common people. For example, if someone asks where a river is drying up, Gemini will use satellite images to locate it and provide a context. After a quick review, it will also be able to answer related questions. Google doesn’t want to limit this update to just predictions. The company’s goal is to give people and disaster relief forces time to prepare before the situation worsens. For the same purpose, the company has also hosted Earth AI on Google Cloud, allowing governments and companies to integrate it into their data.
