Floods Can Be Predicted Up to 7 Days Ahead Using Google’s AI Model: How to Do It Here

Published

on

Google is reportedly developing new technology to provide earlier warnings of severe flooding in climate-vulnerable regions, enhancing its ability to provide reliable and valuable information during crises.

Google’s AI has accurately predicted riverine floods up to seven days in advance, providing reliable predictions to 80 countries, highlighting the potential of machine learning in managing one of the world’s most common natural disasters.

Floods are the most common natural disaster, exposing nearly 19% of the world’s population to significant hazards, according to a Google blog post.

Google’s AI-powered flood forecasting method has significantly improved accuracy, reducing the average prediction time from zero to five days. The method uses historical events, river level readings, height, topography data, and localized maps to train machine learning models, enabling reliable flood predictions even in areas with insufficient data.

Google’s AI has significantly impacted flood forecasting in underrepresented countries like Africa and Asia, overcoming historical challenges due to lack of streamflow gauges in rivers by utilizing available data and applying machine learning models.

Google has made flood projections accessible to 460 million people across 80 countries through various channels, including Google Search, Maps, Android alerts, and its Flood Hub web app in 2022.

Google plans to enhance flood forecasting models using machine learning, collaborating with academic researchers to create a global, end-to-end platform.

Early this week, renders of the Edge 50 Fusion appeared, and Motorola has previously stated that the Edge 50 Pro will ship on April 3. The highest-end smartphone in the Edge 50 series, the Edge 50 Ultra, has now been shown in renders.

The phone is depicted in the renderings in peach fuzz and black with a vegan leather finish, while sisal, a beige color, will have a brushed surface. As opposed to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 in the Pro variant and the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 in the Edge 50 Fusion, the phone is reportedly powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC.

A 50MP primary camera, an ultra-wide camera, and a periscope telephoto camera with a 5x optical zoom are all included in the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra’s feature set. Additionally, there is a triple LED flash on the right side and a laser autofocus feature above the periscope lens.

Although the phone’s display, battery, and charging specifications are yet unknown, the Edge 50 Pro is said to include 12GB of RAM and support both 50W and 125W wired and wireless charging.

It is anticipated that this will launch as the Motorola X50 Ultra in China. It is unclear if the India launch may be expected on the same day as the rest of the Edge 50 series phones, even if this is scheduled to go official on April 3.
