How AI is revolutionizing aviation weather
Artificial intelligence has been used in aviation weather forecasting and decision support since the 1980s, but recent breakthroughs in AI methodologies and computational power are ushering in a transformative era. This webinar explores how AI is revolutionising aviation weather by enhancing not only the accuracy and efficiency of weather forecasting, but also the translation of anticipated weather to operational impacts and optimised decisions.Join us as we delve into the evolution of AI methods in aviation weather—from historical applications to cutting-edge advancements reshaping the field. Discover how AI-driven models enhance uncertainty quantification, essential for optimizing decision-making processes in aviation operations. Learn how AI empowers us to plan for and mitigate weather-related interruptions before they occur, not just respond to them—and how this proactive stance streamlines and optimizes flight operations.We'll also examine the promise and perils of generative AI in providing bespoke guidance and recommendations, supporting decision-making for a wide variety of users. Importantly, we'll discuss strategies for designing and evaluating AI methods to ensure they are trustworthy and reliable.Speaker: Tim Niznik, Director of Analytics, American Airlines; Dr. Amy McGovern, Director, NSF AI Institute for Research on Trustworthy AI in Weather, Climate, and Coastal Oceanography, University of Oklahoma; Dr. John Williams, Head of Weather AI Sciences and Aviation Weather Content, The Weather Company; Mike Robinson, Senior principal engineer, The MITRE Corporation.
