When Tropical Storm Melissa was moving south of Haiti, National Hurricane Center meteorologist Philippe Papin boldly predicted that within 24 hours it would become a Category 4 hurricane.
And according to foreign media, reports Telegraph, this is a prediction that no one at the NHC had made before.
His decision was based on Google DeepMind's new Artificial Intelligence model, which clearly showed a rapid increase in intensity.
As a result, Melissa strengthened to a Category 5 and hit Jamaica with one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the Atlantic.
Thus, as further assessed, the Google DeepMind model has now become the most accurate tool for storm predictions, surpassing even traditional physics-based models.
Meteorologists say this revolution in forecasting may have saved lives by giving residents of at-risk areas more time to prepare. /Telegraph/
