A.I. ACCURATELY PREDICTS 15-DAY WEATHER FORECAST

A new artificial intelligence-based weather model can deliver 15-day forecasts with unrivaled accuracy and speed, according to Google labs. GenCast, invented by London-based AI research laboratory Google DeepMind, “showed better forecasting skill” than the current best forecasting model. Google said GenCast surpassed the precision of the current models in more than 97 percent of the 1,320 real-world scenarios which they were both tested on. GenCast “consistently outperformed” the current leading forecast model when predicting extreme heat, extreme cold and high wind speeds. More accurate forecasting of extreme weather can help officials safeguard more lives, avert damage, and save money.
* Well, goodbye (your popular local weatherman)! Hope you at least get a cake on your way out.
* They don’t name the “current best forecasting model,” but I’ll bet it’s working on its resume.
* How do we know it’s not just plagiarizing other forecasts, like all A.I. does?
* When it comes to forecasting, A.I. will never replace my grandad’s bunion.
* They probably have an AI that can do this with the stock market, but they’re keeping it for themselves.
