Using artificial intelligence, or AI, technology, effective ways for people to protect themselves from extreme heat have been developed by a team of researchers led by Hua Wei, an assistant professor in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of the Fulton Schools. Among them is a shade routing tool that works somewhat like Google Maps. Instead of simply providing a map to the best route from one place to another, it enables mapping a route that will provide the most shade. Another tool is DeepShade, which can predict where shade might provide protection in specific locales. There are plans to collaborate with state government agencies in Arizona to test these shade finding tools.
