Climate change has affected weather patterns in Manitoba, causing uncertainty about how industries plan. Artificial Intelligence could be the solution to solving these puzzles. Winnipeg-based Weather Logics sees the potential in employing AI to improve forecasting precision, outperforming traditional models in some situations.
“What AI is able to do is figure out how the weather is going to change in the future without actually knowing what these equations are,” says Scott Kehler, President and Chief Scientist at Weatherlogics. “You just give it all the data, and it figures out on its own how it’s going to change in the future. And so this is allowing us to discover new things.”
AI and new weather-predictive technology will become increasingly crucial in numerous industries, including agriculture, insurance, and transportation. Changing weather risks increase costs for agriculture and insurance, potentially leading to higher premiums or inaccessible insurance for some. Better predictions can help keep costs from skyrocketing.
