hints of artificial intelligence

Last night, the National Weather Service's Webpage included a discussion of Hurricane Fabian that said, in effect (I don't remember the exact wording) "it's not clear why the forecasting models say X, but we'll accept it."

Our software is starting to know things that the human experts don't. That's a step toward AI, and a useful one: machines that can do something valuable that humans can't do ourselves, namely predict how hurricanes will behave.
