Seven developing countries are now using China’s AI-powered weather warning system Mazu to better prepare for natural disasters such as typhoons and rainstorms.
Pan Jinjun, chief engineer at the China Meteorological Administration, described the system as providing tailored early warning services for developing nations.
The full Mazu system has been deployed in Pakistan, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Jordan, Mongolia, the Solomon Islands and Sri Lanka, where it is integrated into daily operations. Its public cloud version has been tested by 40 Global South countries.
Named after the sea goddess Mazu, the system was designed for global use and first unveiled at last year’s World AI Conference in Shanghai.
