AI has great potential to reduce the impact of extreme weather , which is increasing due to climate change . Floods already affect 250 million people yearly , but AI-enabled systems can help by delivering early warnings that can save lives and prevent economic losses . For instance , Google Research uses AI to predict floods up to seven days in advance in over 80 countries , even in data-poor regions .

Similarly , AI assists in detecting forest fires early . Cameras and sensors on drones and satellites monitor forests for signs like unusual heat or smoke . Dryad Networks , for example , uses ‘ electronic noses ’ to detect gases at the earliest fire stages .
