Google DeepMind just changed hurricane forecasting forever with new AI model
Google DeepMind launches Weather Lab platform for AI hurricane forecasting, showing improved accuracy in early tests with U.S. National Hurricane Center partnership.
Google DeepMind announced Thursday what it claims is a major breakthrough in hurricane forecasting, introducing an artificial intelligence system that can predict both the path and intensity of tropical cyclones with unprecedented accuracy — a longstanding challenge that has eluded traditional weather models for decades. The announcement marks a critical juncture in the application of artificial intelligence to weather forecasting, an area where machine learning models have rapidly gained ground against traditional physics-based systems. Keith Battaglia, senior director leading DeepMind’s weather team, described the collaboration as evolving from informal conversations to a more official partnership allowing forecasters to integrate AI predictions with traditional methods.
