AI and Digital Twins Driving Next-Gen Climate Research: NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Unveils Earth Virtualization Engines Initiative

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang delivered a keynote at the Berlin Summit for the Earth Virtualization Engines initiative, emphasizing the pivotal role of AI and accelerated computing in revolutionizing climate science. He highlighted the necessity of three "miracles" for achieving the initiative's goals, including simulating climate at kilometer-scale resolution, leveraging AI to emulate climate physics, and virtualizing massive data interactively. Huang introduced NVIDIA's Earth-2 project, a collaborative effort to create Earth digital twins, and discussed the potential of NVIDIA's GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip and software frameworks like NVIDIA Modulus and FourCastNet in advancing climate research.
