They did this by using artificial intelligence (AI) to create a model, which is faithful to the laws of physics, from observational data. It is hoped that this development will make it possible to predict phenomena that have been difficult to simulate up until now because their detailed underlying mechanisms were unknown. It is also expected to increase the speed of the simulations themselves.
