LSU's Supratik Mukhopadhyay and computer science alum Dylan Wichman are leveraging the most powerful technology mankind has ever invented—artificial intelligence—to combat the growing threat of wildfires. Their AI-driven system predicts wildfires with 90% accuracy, giving emergency management teams the ability to deploy resources where they’re needed most, days or even weeks in advance. This groundbreaking combination of AI prediction and satellite detection is already protecting areas in Canada and aims to expand globally.Learn more about how this revolutionary technology could help prevent wildfire devastation and save lives ➡️ https://www.lsu.edu/winning-teams/2024-25/wildfire-detection.php
