MIT scientists have developed an AI flooding tool that generates future satellite images to illustrate an area’s appearance after potential flooding. betkubi online casino
They have tested the method on Houston, Texas, and generated satellite imagery depicting its appearance after a hurricane.

— MIT Media Lab (@medialab) November 25, 2024The MIT News website says the tool combines generative artificial intelligence with a physics-based flood model.
Specifically, they used a generative adversarial network (GAN). It’s a machine learning method that generates realistic images using two competing or “adversarial” neural networks.

However, the scientists emphasized that the AI flooding tool is a proof-of-concept. In other words, it only demonstrates how generative AI models can generate trustworthy content when paired with a physics-based flood model.

“One day, we could use this before a hurricane, where it provides an additional visualization layer for the public.”
“One of the biggest challenges is encouraging people to evacuate when they are at risk. Maybe this could be another visualization to help increase that readiness.”
Dava Newman, professor of AeroAstro and director of the MIT Media Lab, is excited for community leaders to use their AI flooding tool:
“We can’t wait to get our generative AI tools into the hands of decision-makers at the local community level, which could make a significant difference and perhaps save lives.”
