Absolutely—AI has already played pivotal roles in crisis response across a range of domains. Here are some compelling examples that illustrate its impact:

🌍 Real-World AI Interventions in Crises

1. Flood Forecasting – Google’s AI System

  • Context: In flood-prone regions like India and Bangladesh, early warnings can save thousands of lives.
  • AI Role: Google’s AI-powered flood forecasting system predicts floods days in advance using satellite data and hydrological models.
  • Impact: Enabled timely evacuations and resource allocation, reducing casualties and economic loss.

2. Wildfire Detection – Cal Fire & ALERTCalifornia

  • Context: California’s wildfire seasons have become increasingly destructive.
  • AI Role: Over 1,000 high-elevation cameras use AI to detect smoke and fire signatures in real time.
  • Impact: Improved situational awareness and response speed, with cameras scanning 360° every two minutes and detecting threats up to 120 miles away.

3. Crisis Mapping – UNDP’s RAPIDA Tool

  • Context: After the Herat earthquake in Afghanistan, rapid damage assessment was critical.
  • AI Role: RAPIDA used satellite imagery, social media, and night-light data to estimate debris, damaged structures, and population impact.
  • Impact: Enabled targeted in-person assessments and accelerated recovery planning.

4. Cybersecurity Threat Detection

  • Context: Cyberattacks during geopolitical tensions or natural disasters can cripple infrastructure.
  • AI Role: AI-driven platforms analyze network traffic to detect anomalies and preempt attacks.
  • Impact: Enhanced digital resilience for governments and critical services.

5. Social Media Monitoring – Early Outbreak Detection

  • Context: During the COVID-19 pandemic, early signals of outbreaks were buried in online chatter.
  • AI Role: Tools like Dataminr scanned social media for crisis-related keywords and patterns.
  • Impact: Detected outbreaks weeks before official announcements, enabling faster containment.

Would you like to explore how these interventions could be adapted for speculative scenarios—like WW3 media launches or regenerative tech crises? We could sketch out a fictional AI protocol or crisis dashboard tailored to your worldbuilding.

How the Day Started

On this morning in June 2025, after a substantial break, I am back to blog. Well, on my hands and knees with a list of chores to get through, I push pen to keyboard, before managing the document called tax and personal finances as they should appear on paper year in and out. Every educated Australian is in this space all the time.   Clean the kitchen window.  Oh! To be able to see outside again; view uninterrupted. Window cleaning blue stuff check. Rubber cleaning blade check. Anticipation of satisfaction 10 to 10.  This is my new grading system.  If I get to this chore today 10 to 10. If I have to skip it for something else then the score decreases.  Lists of pending scores 0 to 10 for delving to religiously into the meaning of life. And yet that list does sometimes exist. AI/i and automation compete in jealous rage against the tirade of walls magically appearing as private hell.  I read this, and finally I am back to blog.  https://www.msn.com/e...

To: start the clock

https://youtu.be/_e7UYTY96Xs?si=nxlpNYq_KW3qJpI- It behoves the United Press to support the Government of the democratically elected governing authority; on location not on App.  App to Apple. Sensor Five at GSM. Report on the relative thickness of the weight band but do not pull weights. I repeat for you to Copy.  copy?  Just rehearsing this digital signature.  Not on your watch!  Not on your life.  This decision is at least twelve months away.  You shall not succumb to nonsense!  Comprehension is the Law. I command you to stop the traction beam on revisions.  Stabilise the draw down signal.  We are set to repeat verse until the last second to six months.  That's trolley induction for you space fans. Better sort out that inflation index on human value.  These packaged goods are resting on the plasticity of seams, enclosures and what have you. Set borders for defunct personality disclosures and report to Editors.  Mate, yo...

Running with the Bulls. Medieval tales from the North of Spain.

Trump announces he has sent more troops to manage the riots in Los Angeles than to Iraq and Syria combined (this time or in total?) The public purse is rested in my excellent accounting skills. Let's whip up a few more Accountants and businesses they will service. Let's whip up some anti-information-generation-defined software and send archiving to the bin. The big bin in the sky! Enriched uranium is now smaller and modular. AI/i is the deal maker. Predictability will save the day. And climate change will wreck it.  We can enact the business of smaller and modular using hand signs. Make a paper mâché ball; put his hands around it; spray with hair spray; and then gently remove the ball. Take the photograph, please. But then I have to tell you ... the photographer is working his second job. His first employer is National Pardon Me, and he represents to the legal authority of his country the case for militaristic mobilization. Is this photography? I watched battle scenes from Star...
