In a groundbreaking collaboration, IBM and NASA have introduced Surya, an open-source AI model designed to predict solar weather and safeguard our technology from the Sun’s unpredictable behavior. This innovative model, trained on high-resolution solar observation data, is set to revolutionize how we understand solar activity and its impact on Earth and space-based systems. As our reliance on technology grows, so does our vulnerability to solar events like flares and coronal mass ejections, which can disrupt everything from GPS navigation to power grids.
