🌊 Google AI’s Leap in Global Flood Forecasting

The Bytes:

✣ Yesterday, Google published a paper in Nature about their significant strides in global flood forecasting using AI that accurately predicts floods up to seven days in advance.

✣ By training machine learning models on diverse data sets, Google’s technology is a game-changer for global flood forecasting, covering 80 nations and over 460 million people with precision.

✣ This advancement is crucial for regions where early warning systems are lacking. In flood-prone areas, these forecasts are a lifeline, giving communities the heads-up they desperately need to prepare and stay safe.

✣ Google’s AI-based flood forecasting is part of its broader commitment to using technology for social good as it evolves.

Why you should care: Floods are among the most common and destructive natural disasters, and Google’s AI-driven approach to forecasting can save lives and reduce economic damage. For communities vulnerable to flooding, this technology offers a beacon of hope, providing critical time for evacuation and preparation. Again, humans are awesome. I hope this accelerates and solves other massive problems to benefit society.

🎵 Tennessee’s AI Music Legislation

The Bytes:

✣ Tennessee Governor Bill Lee announces legislation aimed at protecting musicians and songwriters from the unauthorized use of their work by AI.

✣ The legislation targets AI tools, barring them from duplicating an artist’s signature sound or style without explicit consent.

✣ Responding to the music world's alarm, this law aims to safeguard the soul of Tennessee’s musical legacy against AI overreach and protect artist’s rights.

Why you should care: This is very timely legislation as Suno v3 was released to the public today (it’s insane by the way). As AI continues to evolve, its impact on creative industries becomes more profound. Tennessee’s proactive stance highlights the need for a balance between innovation and the protection of intellectual property. For artists, this could mean greater control over their work, and for the tech industry, a clearer framework for developing AI responsibly. But it’s on shaky ground, will it stand up and actually prevent bad actors?
