Artificial intelligence is giving some climate research projects a much-needed boost at a time of worsening extreme weather and funding cuts that threaten science in the U.S. and elsewhere.

While generative AI faces criticism due to the large amounts of power required to train and run sophisticated models, it also holds the promise of advancing science.

“It’s a gigantic step forward,” says Ángel Borja, a biologist at AZTI marine research center in northern Spain. “It will allow us to process data and get results much faster, so people that make decisions can act faster, too.”

Researchers are teaching existing AI models and creating new ones to perform routine tasks that would require several people to work for weeks or even months. Data gat
