From the Climatic SkyNet department comes news of this upcoming climate-model-supercomputer hootenanny at the University of Illinois next week. What could go wrong if we let a supercomputer make decisions for us?

International summit seeks to harness supercomputing power for climate decision-making

Hosted and organized by NCSA and led by Professor of Atmospheric Science Kelvin Droegemeier, the summit’s long-term goal is kilometer-scale global resolution in Earth system modeling and climate projection.

National Center for Supercomputing Applications

The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and the Department of Climate, Meteorology & Atmospheric Sciences (CliMAS) will bring together more than 100 leading experts in climate, Earth System Modeling (ESM), computing and other sectors for the International Climate Computer Summit at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign from September 29 through October 2, 2024.
