AI isn't just speeding up science: it's making predictions that are more accurate and more reliable than traditional models.
At the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, Caltech professor Anima Anandkumar explained that AI's real superpower is learning from past data and using physics to forecast what happens next.
Her work on neural operators is helping scientists make better calls in everything from climate to complex systems.
NVIDIA Earth-2 widens climate research access
Anandkumar helped create the Fourier Neural Operator for NVIDIA's Earth-2 suite, which can predict weather and climate patterns right from a regular desktop (no pricey supercomputers needed).
This means scientists can now run tons of simulations to assess risks from things like hurricanes, making research more accessible and giving us all a better shot at understanding our planet.
