DeepMind's GenCast AI is really good at forecasting the weather (www.engadget.com)

Pretty much the only thing I think AI could be useful for - forecasting the weather based off tracking massive amounts of data. I look forward to seeing how this particular field of study is improved.

Bonus points, AI weather modeling, for once, saves energy relative to physics models. Pair it with some sort of light weight physical model to keep the hallucinations at bay, and you've got a good combo.

Weather and other very complex and hard to predict stuff like fluid dynamics, things that don't have a human or completely random behaviour, is probably the best thing an AI could do for humanity.

Also could be good for understanding animal communication like dolphins etc.

I don't think it will really be able to do much actual human work, though. Maybe management....

Implying management is human work?
