Google is partnering with the US military to provide them with AI tools. The partnership will be focusing on the betterment of disaster management using artificial intelligence tools. The partnership also comes at a time when tech giants have been trying to help many defense-related organizations.

Google Partners With US National Guards

According to the Washington Post, Google announced that it is giving the National Guard artificial intelligence tools to examine photos of disaster regions so that it can react to them more quickly and efficiently.

Bellwether, a recently formed team within Google’s parent company Alphabet’s innovation lab, has created technology that can automatically identify locations, roads, buildings, and other significant infrastructure by ingesting aerial photos taken at an angle and comparing them with satellite imagery and maps.

The National Guard, which will use Bellwether’s technology in time for the summer wildfire season, has been testing it.

Google Tests AI-Generated Answers In Search Engine

Google’s support for the US military comes at a time when the firm is venturing heavily into artificial intelligence. Previously, Google has started trialing artificial intelligence (AI)-generated search answers in the UK.

Google has dubbed this feature “Search Generative Experience,” to completely change how people get results from the company that owns the largest search engine. Despite Google’s established reputation, Microsoft’s Bing search engine now features Copilot AI, posing a serious threat to the tech giant. One strategy to keep ahead of the competition is to integrate AI.

Google’s AI Help to Save Time

The Washington Post also highlights that before being able to allocate the appropriate resources to the appropriate locations following a disaster, the National Guard, which oversees the military’s response to tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, and wildfires inside the United States and its territories, had to rely on human analysts carefully examining aerial photos to determine precisely which areas, buildings, and infrastructure had been damaged.

However, with the new Google-backed AI help, the process would save a lot of time.
