AI could predict hurricane landfall sooner - BBC News

Artificial Intelligence could save lives by warning where a hurricane will hit land much sooner than traditional forecasting systems, researchers say.

A new AI tool from Google DeepMind predicted where September's hurricane Lee would make landfall in Canada three days ahead of existing methods.

Weather forecasts have become much more accurate over the decades.

But AI's speed and ability to analyse past events to make predictions make it a game-changer, say scientists.
