GenCast, the AI-powered weather forecasting system from Google DeepMind, shows a remarkable 20% improvement over the EU's ENS system, revolutionizing weather prediction accuracy.
Research scientist Ilan Price noted that AI models like GenCast signal a significant turning point in weather predictions, enhancing traditional methods without completely replacing them.
GenCast processes 40 years of historical data to forecast global weather, demonstrating a significant reduction in processing time—forecasting that traditionally took hours can be completed in just eight minutes.
The program excels in predicting extreme weather events and their impacts, such as hurricanes, enabling better preparation for power generation from renewable sources like windfarms.
