Scientists harness power of AI to battle wildfires

Season 2024 Episode 88 | 8m 23s

It brings concerns that AI will displace jobs, fuel online bias, supercharge deep fake videos and slip from human control. But it is not as grim as it seems. AI may create new tools to address complex problems and the climate emergency is at the top of the list. Miles O’Brien reports.
