The WMO Call on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is out!
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has released the WMO Call to All Stakeholders to Collaborate on the Development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) Environmental Monitoring and Prediction Technologies, Tools and Applications, adopted at the Extraordinary session of the World Meteorological Congress (October 2025).
The Call invites the public, private and academic sectors to collaborate on the development and use of AI and ML for environmental monitoring and prediction — helping to protect communities and economies from hazards, including extreme heat and rainfall.
It reaffirms WMO’s mission to facilitate international cooperation and standardization, building on decades of trust and data collection, while also underscoring the vital importance of the single official and authoritative voice of National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs). AI must complement, not replace, existing well-honed scientific forecasting methods and infrastructure.
It emphasizes the importance of open data, open-source tools, and FAIR principles to foster transparency and global participation. It calls for ethical frameworks that establish principles for cooperation, intellectual property, and responsible AI use.
