AI shakes up earthquake forecasting

When the Greek island of Santorini was rattled by a series of quakes this year, sending tourists and residents fleeing, seismologist Margarita Segou got to work with an algorithm called QuakeFlow to determine what was happening. © New Straits Times Press (M) Bhd

QuakeFlow - a cloud computing system developed by Stanford University - uses artificial intelligence (AI) to detect and analyze earthquakes faster and more accurately than traditional methods.

AI is shaking up the hidden world of earthquake forecasting

New technologies are helping detect earthquakes and minimise destruction, but predicting a specific tremor remains a challenge.
