Frequently asked questions

What does AI predict about beer and water consumption before a large event?

AI predicts beer and water consumption based on the weather forecast. This ensures bars are restocked efficiently without trucks driving through crowds unnecessarily.

How is AI used to manage potential chaos at mega-events?

For mega-events, AI acts as an invisible hand that prevents chaos by simulating and optimizing crowd flow in real-time.
