Nvidia will provide model optimization technologies and computing infrastructure, the company said, to boost Korea’s AI-based forecasting capabilities. “Korea is seeing more frequent, localized downpours, and AI models are proving valuable in filling these short-term forecasting gaps,” a KMA official said. KMA researchers said once NowAlpha proves reliable, they hope to share it with developing countries to help strengthen disaster preparedness. “AI models can help bridge this gap, and the WMO will work to provide guidelines so all nations can benefit.”The WMO’s AINPP is slated to run until 2027. After completing further assessments and tests to validate and optimize AI models developed by developed countries and global tech giants, the WMO aims to have AI-based weather prediction models ready to support developing countries’ weather response after 2027.
