GENEVA: The risk of avalanches can be predicted by artificial intelligence (AI) just as well as by humans, according to the findings of a three-year research project in Switzerland.
The Swiss Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF) released their report in Davos on Tuesday. The researchers say that machine-trained algorithms and humans have different strengths and weaknesses and can therefore complement each other well.
