UT Austin Algorithm Predicts Earthquakes a Week in Advance with 70% Accuracy

Researchers at UT Austin developed an AI algorithm to predict earthquakes before they happen.

The algorithm was trained on real-time seismic data and past quakes.

In a 7-month trial in China, it successfully forecast 70% of quakes a week in advance.

The UT algorithm came 1st in an international competition against 600 other designs.

Researchers hope the technology can eventually minimize earthquake impacts, but more testing is needed.
