    Uh I mean, statistical machine learning models are used in tons of places and have been for a while now. There’s plenty of positive effects to be had. It’s just called “AI” without further clarification.

    I’m sure what they are doing here is developing one such machine learning model to improve their detection.

    And to me it seems like wildfire detection is a good contender to be improved by machine learning.

      Sure, it is good in this regard Still it seems like the term “AI” is being thrown around way too much
