Delaware Turning to A.I. for Flood Warnings

And it's the unofficial start of beach season. And in Delaware, officials are hoping artificial intelligence can help evacuate beaches when floods hit. They're developing software that uses sensors to predict and detect flooding. The real time information can then be broadcast on electric highway signs and sent to area drivers as phone alerts. It could also eliminate the need for humans to monitor ocean conditions. The Biden administration financed this technology with a $53 million grant to Delaware and seven other states.
