AI continues to attract significant attention across a broad frontier of application areas of commercial interest motivating a massive investment in research and development. Applying AI to scientific problems has also been gaining momentum. Applying AI to science can be challenging as ‘hallucinations’ undermine any potential benefits, AI results can be hard to interpret, extrapolation is not accurate, and many science problems have existing high quality solutions. Considering these limitations, I will illustrate the application of AI to science with examples from weather and climate.
