Al-Shaker speaking at TED in Arabic about confronting climate change to save lives

Weather of Arabia - The founder and CEO of the ArabiaWeather Group, Muhammad Al-Shaker, participated today, Sunday, in the TED Summit in Arabic, which extends over two days in the Qatari capital, Doha, where he was chosen to talk about the role of artificial intelligence in confronting climate change.

Al-Shaker recounted a success story that began since childhood as a strange hobby that was not similar to the hobbies of children at that age. That hobby turned into a passion for weather forecasting, after his mother finally decided to take him on a visit to the Meteorological Center. To learn more about the basics and how to work in this field, and he was learning without getting bored.

He stated that in his career he went through a turning point when a number of people died in Jordan as a result of the torrential rains that swept the south of the country in 2006, which made him realize that weather-related information is important and capable of saving human lives, so he started a website to deliver important weather information, until he reached several achievements. With a distinguished team in the Arabia Weather group.

Confronting climate change to save lives

Al-Shaker said that climate change has become a tangible reality today, and the solution lies in the ability of institutions, individuals and companies to adapt to the climate and deal with difficult weather conditions through early warning systems and accurate forecast systems that enable decision-making and the preservation of lives and property.

He stated that the workers at the Arab Weather website have developed early forecast systems in several fields, and they are being applied in the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council and a number of countries in the Arab world.
