AI Weather Forecast Startup Sets Sights On Asia-Pacific Region
Atmo, an AI weather forecast system, has set its sights on the Asia-Pacific region to help improve the lives of citizens, said CEO Alexander Levy in an interview during the COP27 climate summit in Egypt last November.
Levy said during the interview that the Asia-Pacific region is “a vulnerable place” due to the massive population and vulnerability to extreme weather conditions.
The remarks come at a time when the World Meteorological Organization estimated that Asia suffered nearly USD 36 billion in economic losses due to extreme weather events in 2021 alone, with nearly 50 million people affected, Nikkei reports.
The CEO also stated his belief that AI forecasting is the way of the future, as machines are able to continuously learn, helping them make more precise predictions about weather patterns that deviate from the norm.
