AI Summary

A new AI system developed by the NYU Fire Research Group acts as a digital twin of an active wildfire. In early tests it has forecasted how the fire will spread in near real time. The model updates its predictions continuously as it receives new data from satellites, weather feeds, terrain, fuel, wildland–urban interface, structures, critical infrastructure, vegetation maps, drones, ground sensors, and field crews.
