26、Mind aims to find solutions to real-life science problems. In December 2020, for example, the company successfully used AI to predict the shapes of virtually every protein in the human body, as well as in twenty of the most studied animals This will aid scientists in developing drugs to cure disease

27、s.Now, DeepMind has used Al technology to create a system that can accurately predict rainfall within the hour. Engineers at DeepMind worked with researchers at the University of Exeter and the Met Office, the UKs national weather service.The researchers “trained” their AI model to predict the time

28、and location of rainfall by feeding it radar data that represents the formation and movement of clouds across the country.

29、movie to follow the story, you might form your own predictions of what could happen next. Similarly, the AI can make a conclusion based on the radar patterns it has analyzed thus far. Current forecasting techniques use weather prediction systems based on equations. Even though they are extremely pow

30、erful, these systems perform better with long-term forecasts. Since the AI system draws on real-time radar data, it has proven useful in forecasting weather in the short term.
