DeepMind AI predicts incoming rainfall with high accuracy
This is a bit over-hyped and not exactly a breakthrough. It’s not doing true weather prediction but rather extrapolating the movement of radar images. This is nothing new. I remember as far back as the 1990s TV weathermen would draw a line across a line of moving rain and the computer would predict which town it would get to and when.<p>Slapping “AI” on this 25 years later is a good example of the whole present PR move of labeling things as “AI” that are just rather basic data analytics.
