OpenAI's new video follows high schooler Ryan Honary, whose science project grew into SensoRy AI, a wildfire detection system.
- A sensor network monitors remote terrain for heat, smoke, flame, and plume activity, catching fires at ignition
- ChatGPT translates raw sensor data into clear alerts firefighters and residents can act on
- The video traces his journey from testing a hair-dryer prototype in his garage to a live network in the hills above Laguna Beach
- He even built a walkie-talkie with ChatGPT so firefighters can query sensors about potential fires by voice
