From the Ted Talk by Sims Witherspoon: Can AI help solve the climate crisis?

Unscramble the Blue Letters


In addition to data, we needed to find a partner with domain expertise and the willingness and scale to test new systems. You know, surprisingly, this can be a moajr hlrdue when it comes to dilyenopg AI in the real world. Believe it or not, it's not every wind-farm manager that wants to let a bunch of AI racehrseers test on their multimillion- or multibillion-dollar systems. But the thing is, in order to prove that AI wkors, we have to have deployment oietotppniurs in the real world. Luckily for us, Google was a ready and willing partner. OK, yes, DeepMind is a part of Google, but it's not a given that they would let us test on their systems. Yet they let us test on 700 mtagtawes of their wind-power capacity, which is equivalent to a large wind farm in the untied stteas. This made them an excellent proxy for external wind-farm oerrptoas. They also lent us an expert team to advise on metrics and benchmarks and to share the data that we needed. This is another caitcril component of AI for the real-world deployments. Working with a domain-expert team that can tell you what they need, how they need it to work, which constraints keep the system safe, what quantifiable metrics to use to mseurae AI performance and how much better that AI performance needs to be than their previous systems to make the cost of switching over even wrtoh it. And that's just to name a few.

Original Text


In addition to data, we needed to find a partner with domain expertise and the willingness and scale to test new systems. You know, surprisingly, this can be a major hurdle when it comes to deploying AI in the real world. Believe it or not, it's not every wind-farm manager that wants to let a bunch of AI researchers test on their multimillion- or multibillion-dollar systems. But the thing is, in order to prove that AI works, we have to have deployment opportunities in the real world. Luckily for us, Google was a ready and willing partner. OK, yes, DeepMind is a part of Google, but it's not a given that they would let us test on their systems. Yet they let us test on 700 megawatts of their wind-power capacity, which is equivalent to a large wind farm in the United States. This made them an excellent proxy for external wind-farm operators. They also lent us an expert team to advise on metrics and benchmarks and to share the data that we needed. This is another critical component of AI for the real-world deployments. Working with a domain-expert team that can tell you what they need, how they need it to work, which constraints keep the system safe, what quantifiable metrics to use to measure AI performance and how much better that AI performance needs to be than their previous systems to make the cost of switching over even worth it. And that's just to name a few.
