How can artificial intelligence help improve wildfire response?

University of Idaho researcher Phinehas Lampman has developed a drone-based AI system that uses real-time infrared imagery to predict wildfire movement. The research could help incident commanders better understand fire behavior, allocate resources more effectively and make critical decisions during active wildfires.
