🌏 AI representing a new chapter in weather prediction ⛈️ Weather forecasts have always faced a challenge: managing uncertainty. This is highly impactful stuff for agriculture, energy production, protecting our communities and more. Google's recent research article in Nature suggests a capability to outperform traditional forecasts in as many as 97.2% tests comparing AI prediction and traditional forecasts. https://lnkd.in/gSRYWwMe What’s groundbreaking? They've found it excels in predicting extreme weather, tropical cyclones, and wind power production. That scene from Back To The Future 2 is starting to feel within reach! #AI #WeatherForecasting #MachineLearning #Innovation #Sustainability #ExtremeWeather #ClimateTech This image was generated using DALL-E.

Google uses #AI to help "provide flood forecasting" up to 7 days in advance. This might be one of the AI use cases where it does make a difference to people who live in countries and regions of the world that are frequently at risk of flooding. The AI model is trained with the global "hydrological behavior" to ensure #accurate #predictions. "Recognizing the barriers to flood forecasting when relying on local data, and the advances in AI research, our team pivoted towards an ambitious global model. That required #global #data sources to train our model on using LSTM networks with the goal of predicting floods even in regions that don’t provide local streamflow measurements." The video (taken from here - https://lnkd.in/dpERyV8Y) goes more in-depth with how the technology works.

Eskimåerna, or the Inuit, have a remarkable vocabulary for snow and ice, reflecting their intimate relationship with their arctic environment. It’s often said that they have more than 50 words for snow and ice, but some estimates go as high as 100 or more! These words describe different types of snow, such as powdery snow, wet snow, drifting snow, and so on. They also have words for different types of ice, like sea ice, glacier ice, and thin ice. It’s fascinating how their language has evolved to capture the nuances of their snowy world! Ai (Pi) 😎

How much would your life change if you knew what was coming? What decisions would you make differently? The next generation of change agents is going to live in a fully monitored world, with a better blend of intuition and information to guide them. The data will be there. Where will the moral compass point? And how can we set the stage today? Lots of questions, I know... #sustainableAI #sustainability #AI

With Hurricane Milton , GenCast predicted a 60-80% probability of landfall in Florida already from 8.5 days before landfall eventually happened - a couple of days before Milton even formed - and more than 90% from 5.75 days before.

What a tremendous help with planning and risk management, such as avoiding weather disasters! https://lnkd.in/gRJFws5j Google DeepMind #LLMs #AI #AIAgent #AIModel #GenCast
