Alexander Ganshin head of Yandex Weather and founder of Meteum.ai, gave a lecture on the transformative role of artificial intelligence in next-generation meteorology. The discussion centered around deep learning algorithms, the use of neural networks for atmospheric data analysis, and improved accuracy in short-and long-term forecasting.

Ganshin outlined how major IT companies — from IBM to Google — are investing in climate forecasting technologies and how such tools help businesses better anticipate weather-related risks. The lecture also explored AI applications in combating climate change across sectors like agriculture, transportation, and energy. Particularly compelling were the commercial use cases of Meteum.ai. The session concluded with a Q&A and networking, enabling attendees to discuss the intersection of science and business.
