ABU
DHABI, UAE, Sept. 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- G42, a leader in AI and cloud
computing, today announced that it is partnering with NVIDIA to
advance climate technology with a focus on developing AI solutions
aimed at dramatically enhancing the accuracy of weather forecasting
globally.
The collaboration builds on NVIDIA's Earth-2, an open platform
that accelerates climate and weather predictions with interactive,
AI-augmented, high-resolution simulation. G42 and NVIDIA will
initially focus on a square-kilometer resolution weather
forecasting model that improves the accuracy of meteorological
predictions.
Key to this initiative is the establishment of a new operational
base and Climate Tech Lab in Abu
Dhabi. This state-of-the-art facility will serve as a hub
for research and development, driving forward both companies'
commitment to environmental sustainability. This facility will also
mobilize the creation of tailored climate and weather solutions
that leverage over 100 petabytes of geophysical data
assets.
Peng Xiao, Group CEO of G42,
said, "This initiative with NVIDIA is a testament to our commitment
to applying AI in ways that not only innovate but also solve
critical global challenges. Establishing the Earth-2 Climate Tech
Lab in Abu Dhabi allows us to
leverage our unique capabilities and insights to foster a
sustainable future for the world."
In addition to fostering innovation in climate technology, the
initiative will focus on building a robust framework for
integrating enhanced weather prediction capabilities with
comprehensive data metrics and visualization. This will assist
organizations worldwide in achieving their sustainability goals
through well-informed, data-driven environmental strategies.
"Our collaboration with G42 marks a pivotal step toward
harnessing AI to understand and predict climate phenomena with
unprecedented accuracy," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of
NVIDIA. "The Earth-2 Climate Tech Lab will propel environmental
solutions using the most advanced accelerated computing and AI
technology to benefit millions of people around the world."
By uniting G42's AI expertise with NVIDIA's computational
acumen, this partnership aims to deliver transformative climate
solutions that combine scientific accuracy with real-world
applicability, driving impactful change across industries and
ecosystems.
