Our portfolio company, Gridware, was recently featured on CBS for their wildfire prevention technology. Using AI-driven sensors, Gridware identifies risks on power lines and alerts utilities in real time — helping them stop potential fires before they start. For co-founder Timothy Barat, the mission is personal: “In my years as a lineman, I saw the catastrophic impact that unmonitored power lines could have on entire communities. Building technology that detects these dangers early allows us to protect people and ecosystems before it’s too late.” With 13,000 sensors already deployed across eight states, Gridware’s technology is leading a more proactive approach to fire prevention and grid resilience. https://lnkd.in/ea7VcYG7

Thank you, John Engel, for hosting a great webinar with utility experts on how #AI is advancing wildfire prevention and mitigation. The discussion highlighted the crucial role advanced technology can play and the cost-effectiveness and speed at which it can be deployed. As Andrew Abranches shared, we currently work closely with Pacific Gas and Electric Company, other utilities, fire agencies, and additional partners across California and 7 other states to help enhance situational awareness and accelerate wildfire response. With over 1,400 AI-driven cameras deployed, ALERTWest enables faster fire detection—often before 911 in remote areas—and provides precise location data. Real-time camera control allows visual confirmation of new ignitions within seconds, enabling more informed resource allocations when minutes matter. Andy also mentioned our brand-new camera solution that was designed with the budgets of smaller municipal utilities and cooperatives in mind. This system provides similar functionality to our current camera solution but at 3-5x lower cost and it can be quickly installed on infrastructure with minimal to no permitting—often within just a few hours. More on this coming soon! Our ALERTWest team has been significantly impacted by catastrophic wildfires, and we are ALL-IN on developing cutting-edge, cost-effective AI-driven situational awareness tools for communities of all sizes, to help protect lives, property and the environment. If you’re curious to see the system in action, you can view all the camera feeds at www.ALERTWest.live (minus AI and alerts - authorized users only) and on our partner Watch Duty’s free mobile app, which I highly recommend downloading for real-time updates on emerging wildfires in your area. Feel free to reach out to learn more! #WildfireMitigation #AI #Utilities #CommunitySafety #FirePrevention #ALERTWest #DISTRIBUTECH #POWERGRIDInternational #FireAgencies
How are utilities using #AI to prevent and mitigate wildfires? We just opened registration for an upcoming POWERGRID International and DISTRIBUTECH webinar - and it's free! I'm excited to hear from Andrew Abranches of Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Wade Ward of Arizona Public Service - APS, and Dan Nuñez of Portland General Electric about how utilities embrace technology to combat one of their greatest threats. We'll cover case studies, deployment strategies, and regulatory considerations related to utility wildfire mitigation. Join us on Oct. 10: https://lnkd.in/erq5Vjv3

華爾街日報 AI is NOTHING but a bundle of applications of US anti-human military C4ISR. Yes, artificial intelligence (AI) can do many things, but NOT everything. With our intellectual property (IP), we are doing what ChatGPT, an icon of AI, can NOT do. Without metadata, especially multilingual metadata, NO multilingual data can be found/retrieved for intelligence analysis, Internet of Things (IoT), etc., even by the most advanced technologies, like AI, quantum computers, etc. https://lnkd.in/g-aJFnXR When we used the following questions to test ChatGPT, the experiment results showed that it can NOT answer them, while we can, with our IP; for example, a pure English question like: "Who, in England of UK, has new US patents granted on February 20, 2024?" or a Chinese-English multilingual question like: "Who, in the '湖北' province of mainland China, has new US patents granted on February 20, 2024?" Our IP is a copyrighted multilingual metadata. It can distill real time (2024.02.20) information about US patent holding/holder, based on the multilingual census geographical locations of Canada, mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Middle East (Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE) and Europe (Austria, Germany, Switzerland, UK).

🔥 Advancing Wildfire Detection with AI at SenseNet: 🔥 As wildfires become an increasingly urgent threat, the demand for innovative detection methods has soared. At SenseNet, we're at the cutting edge, employing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to identify early signs of wildfires, when they're merely faint smoke. As an AI Engineer within SenseNet, my role involves refining AI algorithms to better detect these early, often elusive smoke signals. Through leveraging advanced machine learning and neural networks, we analyze data from various sources in real time, enhancing our detection capabilities and reducing critical response times. Our work is a blend of technical skill and a deep commitment to environmental protection. It underscores the power of collaboration and shared goals within our team. Every algorithm adjustment and model improvement is a step closer to a world where the impact of wildfires can be significantly mitigated. I'm honored to be part of this mission, using technology to forge a safer future. At SenseNet, we're not just detecting fires; we're building a foundation for environmental resilience. #AI #WildfireDetection #SenseNet #Innovation #EnvironmentalProtection

Technology is amazing, until it breaks down! 😤 As a firefighter, I've seen firsthand how even the most advanced systems can malfunction. In my town, we have tens of thousands of fire detectors to prepare us for the worst. While they're meant to alert us of danger, they can often go off for something as minor as a cigarette or burnt toast - or like today just because the tech is flawed! But what happens when the technology fails us? That's what I experienced firsthand at 2am this morning. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but it made me realize that relying solely on technology isn't the answer. Instead, we need to embrace copiloting with artificial intelligence 🤖 to create a winning combination that allows us to respond more efficiently to emergencies. Despite the malfunction, I still believe in the power of technology. Our fire detectors have already saved countless lives by alerting us to fires earlier and helping us better prepare. As we continue to develop new technology, such as generative AI, I'm excited to see where this path leads us in the coming years. Here the picture to prove - it was 02:04 when I left the fire station 😊
