The rapid transformation of weather forecasting by AI has taken even experts by surprise. Every weather forecasting centre in the world is transitioning to AI based forecasts – or trying to catch up with the ones who already do. But will it do the same for climate prediction?

In this lecture, Prof Philip Stier will explore the exciting opportunities and challenges that come with the transformation of climate science by AI, focusing on clouds, which remain one of the biggest uncertainties in climate predictions.
