But AI can still bring huge benefits to many different fields, particularly the accuracy of weather forecasting, according to Sue Haupt, a senior scientist at the US's National Center for Atmospheric Research.

AI in the future could make forecasts much more accurate because it is capable of analyzing huge volumes of data, which could help countries use their solar energy capacity much more efficiently, claimed Haupt.

The forum was organized by Jiangnan University and subsidiaries of the leading Chinese tech company Netease.
