Google's AI technology in Bihar to give flood alert from Nepal

India is the second-most populous country in the world. More than 20 percent of the world's flood deaths each year are in India.

Floods destroy tens of thousands of homes every year. With that in mind, Google volunteers have been working to help flood victims in India for the past two years.

In 2018, the company launched the Pilot Initiative for flood forecasting in Patna, the capital of Bihar. Bihar is one of the most flood-prone states in India for a long time.

Where more than a hundred people lose their lives every year. Google was trying to provide them with accurate flood forecasts in real-time.

The company's AI model analyzes the historical data of many river basins in different parts of the world for accurate forecasting. Google is not alone in this project.

Instead, it is cooperating with the Central Water Commission of India, the Israeli Institute of Technology, and the University of Barisan. The company is also working with the Indian government on how New Delhi is compiling water level data to improve its efforts.

They have installed a new electronic sensor, which automatically transmits data to bodies working in the water sector. Two years later, Google on Tuesday announced that its 'Flood Forecasting Initiatives' would cover the whole of India.

The company is also cooperating with the Water Development Board of Bangladesh. Bangladesh, India's neighbor, has more floods than any other country in the world. At the same time, Bangladesh has become the first country outside India to launch Google's service.

Google's efforts are likely to make a huge difference in the lives of people in India and Bangladesh. The company has so far sent more than 30 million notifications to flood-affected areas in India.

He said his efforts have helped 200 million people in an area of ​​250,000 square kilometers. In Bangladesh, Google's model has managed to reach 40 million people and work is underway to expand it nationwide.

‘We are providing people with information on when and how much flood water will rise. We have been sharing in-depth maps of the flood-prone areas and sharing detailed information about the user's village and region, "said Yossi Matisse, Google's engineering VP and head of Crisis Response.

In this context, the company is also working with Yale and there is a need for further improvement in the service. This year, Google will make the alert more accessible and effective.

For that, Hindi, Bengali, and seven other local languages ​​have been added and the messaging alerts will be customized in the coming days. The company has also rolled out a new forecasting model.

Which has doubled its alert warning time? Google.org, a philanthropic arm of the company, has also partnered with the International Red Cross Federation and the Red Cross Society to build local networks and provide alerts directly to those without a smartphone.

"It simply came to our notice then. Much work needs to be done in the coming days to improve the system to expand the flood-affected area to more people. To that end, we are working with our partners around the world. "

"We will continue to develop, manage, and further improve the technology. The project's digital tools will help save communities and lives, "said Mattis.

Here's how to put one together for use with blockchain technology

 You may have been hearing about blockchain. But very little is known about it. Blockchain is basically a kind of technology that helps to move Bitcoin and other basic services from one person to another.

It can also be called a cryptocurrency wallet. It also provides data charts and market information for Bitcoin. For example, if a person wants to send money from Nepal to another person in London, a trusted third party is required, e.g. Bank, Western Union, Paypal, etc.

Also, some amount may be charged. But with blockchain technology, anyone can send money in a matter of minutes. And the transaction fee is also very low.

Blockchain was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. He invented it for the Bitcoin service. Blockchain is a technology that can be used to transfer money from anywhere in the world to anyone without using a bank or payment service.

Blockchain was first introduced for Bitcoin. But now many other alternative coins have also come under it. Blockchain is an open laser. In this, all the people in any one network know who is paying whom and how much.

Also, the members of the network can decide whether the transaction is valid or not. The database of your transactions is stored on thousands of computers.

Blockchain is hard to hack. For this, the hacker has to hack several computers at once. That is why blockchain is considered safe.

Blockchain was first used in 2008 when the digital currency Bitcoin was invented. It is a decentralized cryptocurrency. Which is not under the control of any country or bank.

The use of blockchain began with cryptocurrency. However, preparations are being made to use it in public and government bodies as well. Since the blockchain will be public, there is no possibility of scam in it and since it will be fault-tolerant, there is no fear of losing data from it.

If the hard disk or RAM of the computer is bad, nothing will work. But with blockchain technology running on multiple computers at once, a business can never stop. Today, cryptocurrency is working on blockchain technology.

In the coming days, the banking sector will also work on blockchain technology because it is easy and secure. Blockchain technology is a distributor database. These data do not reside in one or two computers. These thousands, millions live on computers.

Each blockchain computer keeps track of the history of each business and is completely confidential. Setting a new record requires the approval of many partners. It is used to secure any digital information.

Now all the departments are gradually starting to use this technology. Whether it is a university degree or a passport, no one can hack or copy it.

If according to the government's scheme, any poor person has to be given money or someone has to be given relief, it can be delivered directly through mobile through blockchain without the help of any third party.

Elon Musk brings brain-computer interface to test pigs, chip reads brain

Elon Musk brings a brain-computer interface to test pigs, chip reads brain

Elon Musk's Neurolink, a company working to develop a new kind of interface between the human brain and computing devices, demonstrated a demo of the technology on Friday.

Neurolink says the technology is useful for people with memory loss, anxiety, brain damage, depression, and other neurological disorders.

Elon Musk said the demonstration aims to make the technology accessible and accessible to all. But the same technology can't cure all of the above-mentioned neurological diseases, Elon said, adding that the company's ultimate goal is even greater.

Elon was seen with three pigs in the exhibition. One of the three pigs he had had not been treated. Another device was installed inside a pig's skull or brain called Neuralink's 'Link'. The device was previously installed in the brain of a third pig and was removed.

At the exhibition, the third pig, whose link equipment had been removed, appeared to be in good health.

Musk came to the second pig and showed a display. In which a sound was coming and a scene was also shown. According to the scene, when the link device was detected, the pig would keep in touch with something and search for food.

According to Elon Musk, the device connects to applications inside the phone. From there the link device communicates.

Neurolink shut down the device in July after receiving a breakthrough device design from the US Food and Drug Administration. The company is preparing for its implantation in the human brain soon.

However, it has not been approved by the concerned authorities and further security tests are pending. The device on display was a reading device, which receives signals from pigs' brains via signal. Its ultimate goal is to provide the ability to read and write to address neurological problems such as those mentioned above.

Elon also explained the reason behind removing the device from the brain of the third pig. According to him, it was removed to use the new update on the hardware.

At the end of the question-and-answer session, Musk said he wanted to reduce the cost of the technology to 1,000, bringing it with modern equipment.

Elon believes that the BMI (Brain Machine Interface) device can power the human brain and accelerate it to the speed of artificial intelligence.

Many scientists have welcomed Elon Musk's involvement in the medical field. Because this technology of BMI will help people with neurological disorders and paralysis.
