Google's new AI can predict flash floods 24 hours before they strike. How it works: > Uses Gemini to extract confirmed flood locations and times from global news > Builds a dataset of past events that never formally existed. > That dataset feeds a neural network > The neural network combines real-time weather forecasts with local terrain, soil absorption rates, and urban density > Can flag at-risk areas with results that match the accuracy of America's National Weather Service > Can do this in countries that have almost no flood monitoring infrastructure at all Flash floods kill more than 5,000 people every year, but most victims never see them coming. A 12-hour warning alone can reduce flash flood damage by 60%. …For billions of people without any early warning system, this could be the difference between life and death.
