New study reveals unexpected results after using AI tools to predict extreme weather: 'Their ability … remains unclear'

Weather prediction tools powered by artificial intelligence fall short when forecasting record-breaking temperature and wind events, according to research from the University of Geneva. What's happening? Scientists analyzed global weather information from 1979 to 2020 to test how well artificial intelligence systems predict extreme conditions. They identified more than 162,000 heat records, nearly 33,000 cold records, and over 53,000 wind record…
