The Storm That Never Happened: MIT's AI Models Disasters It Has Never Seen - August 27, 2026
A new MIT algorithm published in Nature Communications generates plausible, unprecedented extreme events without ever seeing one in its training data. Trained on just six months of ordinary US precipitation, it produced three hundred millimeter rainfall maps for a city whose record is two hundred.

Hosted by Chris and Laura.
