A friend‘s child called it a ‘magic book’ and it really is, for both kids and adults. It’s a great way to learn about perspective and to remember to take a step back and reconsider the importance of things.

But will AI be able to learn the underlying physics beyond replicating the past?

As climate change progresses, the future will increasingly look very different from the past and how well will AI cope with that?

I‘m curious and open but I think it‘s too early to come to a conclusion.

Traditional weather forecast models are based on physical equations and run for hours on large supercomputers, which means, here, AI can actually SAVE energy contrary to popular belief.

Hurricane forecasting is a special category but here as well as generally in weather forecasting, I don’t think we are at a point where we could drop one or the other. AI has important applications in meteorology for sure but I think it’s still unclear if everything can be replaced by AI.

”The World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Index has rated Iceland the most gender-equal country for the last 16 years.”

To cite some consequences:
“Just five years after the strike, in 1980, Vigdís Finnbogadóttir was elected Iceland’s first female president — and the world’s first democratically elected female head of state.”
