The scientific world has signed a new study.

According to the Science Daily magazine, researchers from the University of Southern California in the US used data obtained from past satellite images in the development of the new artificial intelligence model.

Researchers explained that the model, called “cWGAN,” uses satellite data to accurately determine which direction the fire will progress, how intense it will be, and the speed of the fire.

It was stated that the model, which was last tested in the forest fires in the state of California, made a great contribution to the firefighters’ fire extinguishing and evacuation efforts.
