Amazon Unveils AI Scheme to Tackle Flood Risks in Spain's Aragon.
Amazon will use artificial intelligence to reduce flood risks in Spain's northeastern region of Aragon where it is building data centres. The tech giant's cloud computing unit AWS plans to spend 17.2 million euros ($17.9 million) on modernising infrastructure and using AI to optimise agricultural water use. Amazon aims to deploy an early warning system that combines real-time data collection with advanced sensor networks and AI-powered analysis.
- This initiative highlights the increasing role of technology in mitigating natural disasters, particularly flooding, which is a growing concern globally due to climate change.
- How will the integration of AI-driven flood monitoring systems impact the long-term sustainability and resilience of urban areas like Zaragoza?
