A new wildfire prediction AI model shows why data rules

Quick Summary:

Europe's leading weather forecaster ECMEF shows that adding additional data improves wildfire predictions, and that data trumps AI model complexity.

Lastly, they said improved weather forecasting models—such as those recently created by Google DeepMind, as well as ECMWF’s own system—have the potential to further boost fire prediction.

Additionally, more novel data on human practices like agricultural burning would also enhance the model’s ability to predict fires and their spread, improving overall risk forecasting.
