Santa Clara County FireSafe Council to install network of sensors in San Jose watershed.
Artificial Intelligence can do everything from writing your grocery lists to creating websites, but can it prevent catastrophic wildfires?
Ten of these iPad-sized sensors already sit in the hills east of Oakland and are part of a 24-month pilot program out of the Oakland Fire Department. Cal Fire is piloting 400 “ultra-early” sensors from German startup Dryad Networks in Fort Bragg as well. The solar-powered sensors, which come from the technology company N5 Sensors, measure gas, particulate matter and heat. AI then analyzes that data to detect where small fires may be before they spread.
Tech commentators have compared AI to fire itself – a revolutionary tool that can also be dangerous and cause unthinkable damage. Deininger said safety concerns had to be a top priority when designing the sensors.
