Google's DeepMind AI can make better weather forecasts than supercomputers

Google DeepMind has developed an AI algorithm called GraphCast that can predict the weather more accurately than current forecasting methods.
GraphCast outperformed the ECMWF, the current gold standard weather simulation system, on more than 99% of weather variables in 90% of the 1,300 test regions.
The AI model is not flawless and should be used to complement, rather than replace, established forecasting tools. [ more ]
