According to Ukrinform’s report, Le Parisien explains this.

“The results are very good at large scales, but there is significant room for improvement at small scales. For example, during Storm Ciaran, although AI models were able to see that the low pressure system was moving more or less on the right path and at the right depth, they failed to predict that very strong winds would occur onshore in northwestern France.” An event that is sweeping through,” says Marc Ponto, Director of Higher Education and Research at Météo France.

Accordingly, “forecasters look at current AI models knowing that they still have some shortcomings and that an understanding of physics is still crucial.”

According to the French Meteorological Service, in the long run everything will depend on the progress these models can make. artificial intelligence can be used in conjunction with physical equations, but complementarity would probably be the most useful approach. However, the work of the weatherman will also be necessary in the future. It consists not only in evaluating the results of models and compiling bulletins and alerts, but also in communicating with the public and government institutions.

Developers of AI tools, particularly Google DeepMind (Google’s AI division), say their faster, more accurate forecasts will benefit billions of people, especially in “weather-sensitive” industries where jobs rely heavily on available and up-to-date data. future weather.

In the medium term, when models are more “trained” on the basis of more precise geographical data, AI could make it possible to know what the weather will be like in the next few days in record time and with much higher accuracy than today.

The list of sectors that will benefit the most includes agriculture, energy, public works and transportation. It is also useful for estimating electricity consumption and can help reduce losses in agriculture.

As reported, Google will invest almost $2 billion in rival OpenAI. artificial intelligence startup AnthropicFounded by former OpenAI executives.
