AI IN SUSTAINABILITY
Dion Harris, Senior Director of HPC and AI Factory Solutions at Nvidia, says:“ Hyper-local weather forecasting is becoming crucial to determining patterns and people positioning as climates around the world undergo change. G42 is innovating using the Nvidia Earth-2 platform to drive access to actionable information in areas that need it most.”
The Nvidia Earth-2 platform provides computational frameworks for high-resolution climate modelling. Platform scalability allows organisations to process environmental data from satellite observations, ground-based sensors, and atmospheric monitoring systems. Traditional forecasting systems require supercomputing resources previously available only to major meteorological agencies. AI-powered forecasting democratises these capabilities.
Dion continues:“ Weather forecasting has always required significant computational power, but AI is redefining what’ s possible. With Physics AI models for high-resolution climate modeling, we can now generate faster, more detailed, and more adaptive predictions. The scalability of accelerated computing allows us to process vast amounts of data efficiently, helping industries and governments better understand and respond to extreme weather patterns.”
Insurance companies use AI-powered weather forecasting for operational improvements. Weather-related claims account for 60 % of property insurance
