New AI Algorithm Predicts Earthquakes in China Trial with 70% Accuracy
- New AI algorithm predicted 70% of earthquakes 1 week before they happened in 7-month China trial
- AI was trained on past seismic data paired with previous quakes to detect statistical patterns
- UT Austin team came 1st out of 600 entries in international earthquake prediction competition
- Goal is to combine AI with physics models to create generalized system that works anywhere
- Testing AI in Texas next since robust seismic network ideal to verify method
