Extreme weather events have caused severe damage and loss of life in recent decades. Traditional numerical weather prediction, while accurate, is computationally intensive—requiring supercomputers that consume massive amounts of energy. In contrast, energy-efficient AI offers a transformative alternative. This course explores how modern AI models can drastically reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions while improving the accuracy and accessibility of weather forecasting. Through practical examples, we demonstrate how techniques like LoRA fine-tuning, diffusion models, and GNSS-based sensing can enhance forecasting capabilities on both large and personal devices. By the end of this course, learners will understand how efficient AI methods enable sustainable, high-precision weather prediction for the future.
