Detecting wildfires with ChatGPT

Description

Most fifth-grade science projects end up in a closet. Ryan Honary’s became SensoRy AI—a wildfire detection system that identifies fires at ignition and alerts firefighters before a spark becomes catastrophic. Ryan’s sensors monitor remote terrain for heat, smoke, flame, and plume activity. When a potential fire is detected, ChatGPT turns complex sensor data into clear alerts firefighters and residents can act on. Follow Ryan from his garage workshop, where he tested his first prototype with a hair dryer, to the hills above Laguna Beach, where his sensor network now watches over the city. Alo
