A University of Notre Dame initiative has received a $10 million grant from the OpenAI Foundation to help governments expand AI-powered weather services to millions of farmers across South and Southeast Asia and East Africa. “Artificial intelligence is creating extraordinary new possibilities for farmers, but innovation alone is not enough,” said Paul Winters, executive director of AIM for Scale. “The real challenge is ensuring that these tools become part of systems that can sustainably reach millions of farmers in low- and middle-income countries.
