IBM studied the market and found that the AI models that are available for weather forecasting and sensing, behave more like AI emulators and not fully trained AI models, which can lead to inaccuracies and a lack of depth. What IBM wants to create is a foundation AI model that will be capable of much more than just weather sensing and predictions. AI emulators rely on the data set that is available, while a foundation AI model is capable of a lot more.
