The machine-learning model takes less than a minute to predict future weather worldwide more precisely than other approaches.

Unlike NWP models, researchers cannot fully understand how AIs such as GraphCast work because the decision-making processes happen in AI’s ‘black box’, says Grover. “This calls into question their reliability,” he says."

My wife is much better than any of the supercomputer models at predicting if it will rain tomorrow.


Nothing artificial about her!


But no amount of intelligence can predict the future state of a wildly chaotic system.

Not moment to moment. But climate change is predictable in terms of short term averages.
