IBM on Smart Talks with IBM

I'm Malcolm Gladwell. This is a paid advertisement from IBM. The conversations on this podcast don't necessarily represent IBM's positions, strategies, or opinions. Since we recorded this episode, IBM and NASA released Syria, their solar weather model. In early testing, it showed a 16 % improvement in solar flare prediction accuracy. This is the kind of improvement that helps protect our satellites, our power grids, and our GPS systems from the Sun's unpredictable nature. And the next step in this partnership, another model coming in 2026, looking beyond the Earth and the Sun. The universe of possibilities just keeps expanding.
