Caltech professor Anima Anandkumar announced her contribution to a UN Science Board scientific brief on AI and climate modeling. She traces the field's rapid progress back to FourCastNet, the first high-resolution AI weather model her team launched.
She notes AI climate modeling is harder than weather modeling, requiring longer-term forecasting and extrapolation to unseen scenarios. Embedding laws of physics at different scales and disentangling distinct mechanistic pathways are essential for AI-climate models.
