artificial intelligence is the next great technological leap that we are going to experience, Proof of this is the great impact that ChatGPT and other solutions have, but big brands, like Google, were already using this type of technology without us knowing about it.
The American company has already announced an AI called Sparrow, but the truth is that it has been using artificial intelligence for years in its platforms and services, but also in the field of human problems.
Now the company has revealed some of the uses it is giving to different types of AI to try to solve certain social problems.
Artificial intelligence applied to real problems
Google has been applying artificial intelligence to its projects for years, and it’s not just doing it in services like Google Photos or Gmail, it also happens in projects like Project Relate, a platform to help people with communication problems by reading the text they write, as well as repeating what they say with an artificial voice.

Open Buildings is a project to collect information on the space occupied by buildings around the world, in addition to the volume of buildings and the population they host, helping the administrations of developing countries to understand the needs of the population.
Google is also using AI, in collaboration with InstaDeep and the FAO, to accurately detect locusts and other species in Africa, which has already reduced pesticide spraying by 20% and increased profits for businesses. farmers by 26%.
Artificial intelligence models can be very useful in preventing and detecting natural disasters such as fires, and in 2022, Google’s AI helped detect the open fronts of more than 30 state wildfires in real time. United States and Canada.
The same goes for floods, which Google can already detect with great accuracy and speed in more than 12 countries thanks to its FloodHub model.
