"Google's AI Revolutionizes Flood Prediction with 7-Day Accuracy"

Google has used AI to predict riverine floods up to seven days in advance, with findings published in Nature journal. By training machine learning models with various data, including historical events and river level readings, Google generated localized maps and ran simulations to accurately predict floods. The technology provided accurate forecasting in 80 countries, benefiting 460 million people, and is available through Google Search, Google Maps, Android notifications, and the Flood Hub web app. Google aims to further improve flood forecasting models and create a global platform in collaboration with academic researchers.
