California has recently experienced its worst wildfire season in recent memory, with blazes burning in nearly all provinces and territories. In response, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has released a report urging the increased use of AI and machine learning (ML) in predicting and directing responses to wildfires and managing forests. San Diego Gas & Electric has deployed a fleet of drones to fly over power poles in areas at highest risk of wildfire and take images to identify equipment potentially in need of repair. With over 2.3 million drone shots, the company, alongside Accenture and Kaminsky, built machine-learning models running on AWS cloud to identify the most critical and vulnerable part of the system and then anticipate the most urgent fixes.
