Australia is combining cutting-edge artificial intelligence with thousands of years of Indigenous knowledge to improve bush-fire management.

The new approach aims to better predict fire risks, protect communities, and strengthen emergency responses across the country.

Indigenous land management practices, including cultural burning techniques, are being integrated with modern technology and scientific data.

Experts say AI tools such as advanced monitoring systems and early warning technology could help detect fires faster and reduce damage.

The collaboration recognises the value of First Nations knowledge in caring for Australia’s landscapes and preparing for future disasters.

Authorities hope the combination of technology and traditional expertise will create a safer and more resilient Australia against bush-fire threats.
