Google uses AI to predict flight delays!

Google uses AI to predict flight delays!

Google has launched AI (Artificial Intelligence), which can predict flight delays before the airline itself. Also, some information on why this delay will happen specifically for a flight.

If you remember, I recently wrote an article about the fact that Google has completely redesigned Google Flights, and it seems that innovations are only related. I wrote in the plural because now they have introduced information about what you get and what you don't, along with your ticket. For example, do you have space in your class for things above your head or can you choose a place, etc. (shown in the animation below)?

Google uses AI to predict flight delays!

Google says it uses historical flight data (as well as many other influencing factors) and machine learning to predict delays. They are also note that the delay will be announced only in the case when the security is higher than 80%, which is quite enough.

Now, in my opinion, take their information about the delay with a grain of salt. For example, when you are really in a race against time and you are forced to leave some jobs unfinished. In that case, if Google is more than 80% sure that the flight will be delayed, you can take a risk and still get the job done. However, Google advises you to arrive at the airport on time.

To get this delay information, just enter the flight number (eg "American 4442") or the flight route (eg "Air New Zealand Auckland to Singapore") and all the information will appear in one place.

I wrote an article on how to save internet traffic on an Android device and I suggested the Onavo Extend and Opera Max apps because they were the most popular back then. Meanwhile, Opera Max has been discontinued and Onavo has been completely redesigned and is now a VPN application with the option to save internet traffic. Their compression technology is probably now used by Facebook in its application because they bought Onavo - link . Google has decided to seize the opportunity and "push" with a new application called " Datally ".

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.
