Huawei has taken advantage of the celebration of its event Cloud Summit Spain 2024 to announce the launch of its Cloud for Good projectFocused on leveraging technology as a catalyst for social progress, the program seeks to project a sustainable future through the cloud, AI and other technologies.
At Huawei Cloud, they are committed to the intelligent future with an “everything as a service” model as their work philosophy. The mission of this division is to take advantage of the company’s experience in digital transformation to deploy cloud services that facilitate their partners’ transition to the digital world. In addition, its executives envision a future with the cloud as a driver of social progress, and are committed to making it happen, focusing on education, the environment, healthcare, and inclusion.
Throughout the Huawei Cloud Summit Spain 2024, the department’s vision was illustrated through three cases: AI-assisted weather forecasts to protect people’s lives, cloud and AI to protect nature and animals, and AI medical assistants to help save patients’ lives.
To make the first case a reality, Huawei Cloud has developed the Pangu weather modelbased on a large data set of climate observations over the past 40 years. This system is capable of predicting the path of a typhoon over the next 10 days. In predicting dangerous situations in extreme climates, such as typhoons, Pangu has achieved remarkable results.
As for the use of the cloud to protect animals, Huawei has highlighted the case of its work with Bonelli’s eagles in the Sant Llorenç del Munt i l’Obac Natural Park, one of the largest in Spain. The bird in question, which lives there, is on the Spanish Red List of Birds for being a vulnerable species, and due to the increase in the number of visitors to the park, it has had several problems.
To address these, Huawei has collaborated with the IUCN, the University of Girona and the Provincial Council of Barcelona to deploy a solution with cameras, GPS receivers and a cloud platform to monitor the species’ activity and identify which factors may hinder its reproduction.
The data collected is sent to the platform and analysed to facilitate decision-making on conservation. It also helps park managers to intervene quickly in the event of potential risks to the environment. Although this project has been launched in Spain, it also covers other European countries, including Italy, Greece, Norway and Ireland.
Huawei Cloud too It is based on a medical model, trained with high-quality data from 16 million journals The model is based on academic research and is equipped with more than one million medical data charts. This model has implemented a system that functions as an intelligent assistant for doctors and patients during medical examinations, diagnosis and treatment. It is therefore an important support for the management of patients’ health. With this model, for example, they have helped facilitate the correct diagnosis of 11 patients with adrenal insufficiency in a Chinese hospital within three months.
