Prof. Greg Hakim participated in a workshop organized by the White House‘s Office of Science and Technology Policy on artificial intelligence in weather prediction. “Participants covered a wide range of topics, including anticipating the benefits and challenges of AI for weather prediction, building and maintaining trust in AI systems, and exploring scientific unknowns that pose the biggest challenges. Early results using AI and data-driven models show enhanced skill in predicting extreme life-threatening events like hurricanes, winter storms, and heat waves — highlighting the opportunity of these new models as valuable tools in the suite used to produce forecasts that protect lives and property.” Press release linked here
