he Massachusetts Technological Institute (with for its acronym in English) began Development of tools driven by Artificial intelligence from Create realistic satellite images of potential flooding.
Postdoctoral researcher in MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, Björn Lütjenscommented that “the idea is that, one day, we can use these tools before a hurricane to give the public an extra level of visualization.”
The experimental application will use a generative AI model combined with physics and fluid simulation tools Create realistic visualizations That prophecy How certain areas might fare in the event of a flood.
The system will be flexible enough simulate different situations, Depending on the intensity of the climatological parameters introduced
“In an emergency, One of the biggest challenges is encouraging people to evacuate when they are in danger“Lütjens explained. “We hope that the images created with these tools serve as visualizations to encourage people to act in these types of situations.”
Highlighted by the researcher Importance of developing a proper toolSo as not to have “hallucinations” that could confuse researchers and the public.
“AI-modified image visualizations, which can be a little more vivid and emotionally appealing than color-coded maps of reds, yellows and blues, Deserve the same level of trust?” Lutzen asks.
This is a remarkable example of how AI technology can contribute to managing the climate crisisNot only helps to simulate possible situations, but will act as a tool during active emergencies.
