AI for Earth and Sustainability Science | AI for Good Discovery - AI for flood forecasting | Grey Nearing at Google

Flooding is one of the most common and costly types of natural disaster, with disproportionate human impacts in developing countries and communities. Google has developed an AI-based river and inundation forecasting system, and is partnering with governments and water agencies around the world to provide real-time flood alerts directly to individuals, communities, and NGOs through existing Google information channels like Maps, Search, and Android Alerts. This talk will cover the background, development, and impact of this effort.

We have less than 10 years to solve the UN SDGs and AI holds great promise to advance many of the sustainable development goals and targets. More than a Summit, more than a movement, AI for Good is presented as a year round digital platform where AI innovators and problem owners learn, build and connect to help identify practical AI solutions to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. AI for Good is organized by ITU in partnership with 40 UN Sister Agencies and co-convened with Switzerland.
