EUMETSAT to explore new artificial intelligence approaches

Determined to remain at the forefront of innovation, EUMETSAT will prioritise using artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies over the next decade in order to best serve its user community. The new strategy, known as the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning roadmap, aims to ensure that EUMETSAT uses the most advanced knowledge and technologies in order to optimise its Earth observation satellite programmes, facilitate research and cooperation among its 30 Member States, and strengthen collaboration among partners, international agencies, academia, and businesses. Artificial intelligence is a field in which machines carry out tasks so sophisticated they have typically been thought to require a human brain. These approaches can be used to better integrate different sources of data into decision-making processes as well as to support humans in interpreting Earth observations and issuing life-saving weather warnings.
