- The AI recognition of forest fires improves the quick reaction, but there is a lack of transparency in energy and emissions.
- The VECHAIN-Blockchain could ensure comprehensible, sustainable AI supply chains and data on the environmental impact.
As far as artificial intelligence redesigns the economy in the world, questions about their ecological and ethical effects become louder. A tweet from @Pere_Mainz underlines a critical reality: every AI progress brings high hidden costs in the form of emissions, energy consumption and complexity of the supply chain.
The role of Nvidia in the acceleration of AI technologies, especially in life-saving areas such as the detection of forest fires, underlines the urgency of transparency. The integration of the Vechain blockchain into the AI infrastructure could offer a solution by enabling verifiable tracking of emissions and delivery activities and thus creating a basis for more sustainable AI practices.
AI in the detection of forest fires: performance, precision, costs
As CNF reported, NVIDIA AI changes the management of forest fires. Startups such as Pano Ai use AI-controlled alarms to support first aiders in acting faster than by conventional emergency channels. Sonia Kastner, CEO of Pano Ai, explains that its system identifies smoke through high -resolution, rotating cameras that transmit pictures to the cloud every minute.
AI models that are trained and used on Nvidia GPUs then analyze these images in real time to recognize smoke at an early stage.
“It is like a cancer treatment in the early stages, you have to recognize the signs early to prevent escalation.”
The recent fires in the Los Angeles area destroyed over 9,000 buildings and demanded 17 lives. Pano Ai’s technology, which is used in several states, was of crucial importance. According to Kastner, customers now rely on the platform to contain fires before an emergency call.
The Green Grid company based in San Francisco has also used AI systems for supply companies that warn customers like a Big Bear resort of fires nearby. CEO Chinmoy Saha said that this early warning had helped the resort to prepare and prevent a possible disaster.
Transparency through blockchains in the AI supply chain
Despite the advantages of artificial intelligence, your CO2 balance and the complexity of the supply chain are largely unknown. The blockchain from Vechain could change that. By integrating blockchain for the persecution of emissions and checking the supply chain, companies such as Nvidia could make AI development understandable.
This would enable those involved to trace every token, every chip and every model to its environmental impact. This corresponds to @Pere_Mainz’s demand for ethical AI practices and is in accordance with sustainability goals.
In cooperation with UC San Diego and Alert California, Cal Fire is now using AI-based cameras to recognize new fires. Battalion Chief David Acuna said that AI identifies potential fires and notified the command centers so that they can be checked by humans. This hybrid model of cooperation between AI and Mensch ensures precision and shortens the response times, especially in remote areas.
Green Grid and Pano Ai also help with controlled burns, an important instrument to reduce fire risk. Your AI cameras monitor fire zones to prevent unauthorized smoke spread and ensure the safety of the population. Kastner said that decades of neglecting forest management has led to an increase in the risk of fire and that the systems of Green Grid and Pano Ai are now helping to pursue and contain prescribed fires.
With the advances of the AI, the blockchain could be the next step for accounting. Since Nvidia is a leader in the GPU development and the transparency of the Vechain supply chain, this partnership could be the future of the ethical AI.
