What happens when AI doesn’t just forecast the weather, but reshapes how we prepare for it, respond to it, and even control it? Today’s episode digs into the evolution of AI-powered weather prediction, from regional forecasting to hyperlocal, edge-device insights. The panel explores what happens when private companies own critical weather data, and whether AI might make meteorologists obsolete or simply more powerful.
