A telecommunication company in Canada is deploying AI cameras to detect wildfires caused by climate change. These cutting-edge cameras use computer vision and AI algorithms to identify signs of wildfires in real time, even from up to 12 miles away. Installed in wildfire-prone areas, the cameras can also be placed on towers or drones for expanded coverage. Coupled with AI algorithms, the cameras can analyze captured images and video streams, generating alerts and notifying relevant authorities. The initiative will begin in British Columbia and expand across the country to aid in wildfire prevention and response efforts.
