CEO Series: Wildfire Risk with Bryan Spear

Wildfires have grabbed the headlines recently and AI is being put to work to assess risk aid strategic planning in reducing events. The next in our CEO series brings Bryan Spear, the CEO of Technosylva, in to talk with host Eric Hanselman about not only wildfire, but also the ways in which AI can address flood and extreme weather risks, as well. There are interesting commonalities in the datasets that are used and AI has helped them to pivot into new areas as they dig deeper into what, in many cases, was data they already had.

Their computational requirements have driven them to invest in a dedicated compute environment. They're running analyses on scale where they can keep utilization high enough that the costs make sense. It's a calculus that many enterprises are making as they trade off the convenience of cloud with the predictable costs of owning one's own infrastructure.
