Abu Dhabi Researchers Develop AI to Shield Satellites and Power Grids from Solar Storms

Abu Dhabi scientists are taking big steps to protect Earth’s vital infrastructure from the threat of solar storms. Their latest project involves training an advanced AI system that can forecast dangerous solar winds several days before they strike.

AI-Powered Early Warnings

The research team harnesses NASA data to teach their AI model how to predict powerful solar outbursts. These solar storms have the potential to disrupt communication satellites, knock out power grids, and even damage spacecraft electronics. With more accurate forecasts, agencies and utility companies can now take action to minimize potential risks. AI forecasting solar storms - Abu Dhabi project
