Google’s Groundsource tool using Gemini and old news reports to predict flash floods
Google has developed Groundsource, a flash flood prediction tool utilizing Gemini and historical news reports. The technology analyzes 5 million global news articles to identify flood events, aiding in quicker response to localized weather events. While limited in scope compared to existing systems, Google’s platform is helping urban areas in 150 countries prepare for potential flash floods, with hopes to expand to predict other natural disasters in the future.
