EmberEye claims breakthrough in early fire detection🔥

Cambridge-based wildfire technology company EmberEye says its ground-level infrared sensors detected a fire less than a minute after ignition during a controlled field test with the Marin County Fire Department in California, while the area’s incumbent camera system failed to detect it.

The company says the test is among 20 field demonstrations conducted across the US and UK, all of which resulted in successful fire detection. Trials have involved organisations including the National Trust, Surrey Wildlife Trust, the City of London Corporation, Surrey Fire and Rescue Service and the UK Ministry of Defence.

Founded by electronics engineer Enrico Miraglia Del Giudice and wildfire data and modelling specialist Kyle Nisbet, a Stanford PhD student, EmberEye is developing a combination of ground-level infrared sensors and artificial intelligence software designed to identify fires at the point of ignition and assess areas at greatest risk.

5 cyber risks founders take every time they use AI tools 🤖

When my business insurance came up for renewal, it prompted me to look properly at my cover. My business consultancy policy covered advisory work such as digital marketing, but not AI advisory or cybersecurity, such as your accounts being hacked for sensitive data. As a founder, keeping your data secure is critical, and even more so when you hold data for clients.

The second trigger was a new contract involving more AI training. To be completely honest, if my policy had carried on for a few more months, I might have overlooked the fine print. Reading it showed me how many founders could be exposed without realising it, simply because they use AI tools every day, for themselves or for their clients. Here are five risks worth looking at.
