California has a new weapon against the wildfires that have devastated the state: AI.
A freshly launched system powered by AI trained on NVIDIA GPUs promises to provide timely alerts to first responders across the Golden State every time a blaze ignites.
The ALERTCalifornia initiative, a collaboration between California's wildfire fighting agency CAL FIRE and the University of California, San Diego, uses advanced AI developed by DigitalPath.
Harnessing the raw power of NVIDIA GPUs and aided by a network of thousands of cameras dotting the Californian landscape, DigitalPath has refined a convolutional neural network to spot signs of fire in real time.
