NASA and IBM create Surya: Advanced AI for predicting solar storms and strengthening space defence

NASA, in collaboration with IBM, has unveiled 'Surya,' a groundbreaking AI model designed to revolutionize space weather forecasting. Trained on nine years of Solar Dynamics Observatory data, Surya accurately predicts solar flares and eruptions, crucial for safeguarding satellites, communication systems, and power grids. Early results show a 16% accuracy boost and two-hour advance visual forecasts.
