NOAA's emerging conduit for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for mission science initiatives
We're exploring the needs and capabilities of the NOAA community. We want to spark conversations, provide space for networking, and encourage information sharing about AI/ML within NOAA and its scientific communities. We welcome your participation in the evolution of NCAI and the development of our Community of Practice.
News and events
This event is part of the annual NOAA AI workshop series to foster a community around AI research and applications that are relevant to NOAA missions. In 2025, NCAI will host a series of virtual and hybrid public workshops focused on GenAI development for environmental science applications. This year’s NOAA AI Workshop will host virtual events in March and June. Each event will focus on different aspects of GenAI. The series concludes with a 2-day hybrid event in Boulder, Colorado in September (TBD) with panels and sessions spanning topics around GenAI for environmental sciences.
- March 3, 2025 (11:00–16:30 Eastern Time, virtual): Generative Modeling for Earth and Space Sciences
- June 2025 (time to be determined, virtual): Generative AI for Information Services
- September 2025 (time to be determined, 2-day hybrid event): Generative AI Applications in Environmental Sciences
On May 6, 2024, NOAA and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) hosted a joint workshop on the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to transform weather prediction. Experts discussed new developments, current challenges, and potential cross-sector collaboration to best utilize AI for weather prediction.
These efforts emerged from outcomes during the 2023 NOAA Artificial Intelligence for Numerical Weather Prediction (AI4NWP) Workshop.
AI at NOAA: Highlighting Innovation in Practice
Artificial intelligence (AI) can help scientists better understand the environment and its management. NOAA has a long history of using AI in weather forecasting, climate modeling, and environmental monitoring and has established the NOAA Center for Artificial Intelligence to support new and ongoing projects that span from the bottom of the ocean to the outer atmosphere.
