Ai2 gets $5M from Google to turn AI weather model into a tool for projecting climate change
The Allen Institute for AI received $5 million and $1.8 million in Google cloud credits to develop an open-source climate modeling tool based on Google Research's weather prediction model. The three-year project aims to provide scientists, water agencies, and planners with improved forecasts of rainfall, temperature, and water supply changes over 5 to 50 years. Ai2's NeuralGCM+ will extend Google's NeuralGCM, which focuses on shorter-term weather prediction, into longer climate horizons where Google has less expertise.
Key points
- $5M Google.org funding plus $1.8M cloud credits to Ai2
- Open-source model for 5-50 year climate projections
- Builds on Google Research's NeuralGCM weather model
- Ai2 expanding climate team from 8 to 12 people
