NOAA Artificial Intelligence Strategy

The NOAA AI Strategy will dramatically expand the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in every NOAA mission area by improving the efficiency, effectiveness, and coordination of AI development and usage across the agency. As data exploitation capabilities continue to increase exponentially with improved data from a scalable consolidated satellite architecture, unmanned systems, and commercial data sources, AI methods will provide transformative techniques to enhance the quality and timeliness of NOAA science, products, and services.

Artificial Intelligence involves techniques in machine learning and deep learning including neural networks, evolutionary computation, probabilistic and statistical methods. NOAA’s robust experience with AI applications across a range of mission areas is already demonstrating improvements in performance and skill at greatly reduced costs and compute time as the examples in this handout illustrate.
