Scaling up Artificial Intelligence to fight mis- and disinformation on weather and climate
- World Meteorological Organization, Strategic Communication
Weather and climate professionals are pioneers in artificial intelligence. Over fourty years ago, the first intelligent forecasting models were built, which gives our community a strong legitimacy in the use of data to produce information. Today, artificial intelligence and machine learning are used extensively to look into weather patterns, and to analyze the evolution of climate over time. But in parallel of this growing success, National Meteorological and Hydrological Services, journalists, scientists, and climatologists around the world are experiencing more and more attacks and threats from climate denialists. How can artificial intelligence be scaled up to communicate about weather and climate, and make the authoritative information more accessible to those who refute the science?
