flag Google’s AI system predicts flash floods in 150 countries using news and weather data, aiding early warnings where monitoring is limited.

flag Google has launched an AI-powered flash flood prediction system using its Gemini model and 5 million historical news articles to identify flood risks in 150 countries. flag By analyzing news reports and weather data, the system detects potential flash floods in 20-square-kilometer areas, offering early warnings to emergency services, especially in regions lacking advanced monitoring. flag While less precise than existing systems, it expands global coverage and supports faster response times, with potential for adaptation to other hazards like mudslides and heatwaves.
