In this video, we take a look at how #Colorado lawmakers are working to prevent future #wildfires from destroying homes and communities, using #.ArtificialIntelligence. One year after the most destructive #wildfire in the state's history, a Senate committee has voted unanimously to move forward with a bill creating a $2 million pilot program using artificial intelligence (AI) to detect #fires before they spread out of control.

The program would involve placing cameras on mountaintops and using AI to monitor footage and detect early signs of a wildfire. This is part of an ongoing effort by firefighters to use technology to improve preparation and resource positioning. Human-staffed fire lookout towers have already been replaced by cameras and AI in remote areas to differentiate smoke from morning fog.
