Accelerating Climate Modeling with Generative AI

There’s a lot of hype about generative AI, both pro and con. Researchers at the University of California, San Diego and the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (Ai2) are on the pro side, demonstrating that it can have valuable global impact. They have developed a generative AI climate prediction model they call Spherical DYffusion, which is fast and agile enough to be used as a tool not just by scientists, but by anyone whose decisions are affected by climate trends.
