How AI Simulates Thousands of Tropical Cyclone Seasons

AI-powered tropical cyclone simulation is changing how the world models hurricane risk. In this video, AXA and NVIDIA show how FourCastNet 3 on NVIDIA Earth-2 generates thousands of synthetic cyclone seasons in the time it would take a physics-based model to run just one — giving insurers and risk teams an unprecedented view of storm activity across every major ocean basin. The historical record covers roughly 45 years of observed storms. That sounds like a lot, until you need to price risk for the next 50. A single AI ensemble member runs in under 10 minutes on one H100 GPU, making it practic
