Briefing
|
- AI Earthquake Predictor – Paul Johnson, geophysicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, is applying artificial intelligence to predict when earthquakes will strike
- Machine Training – Fed machine with raw data from lab-simulated earthquakes to analyze patterns, in addition to real earthquakes
- Discovered Acoustic Signals – Detected acoustic signals that change as simulated system gets closer to earthquake, which may make it possible to predict quakes within one second
- Uncertainties and Other Indicators – Researchers have yet to see if acoustic signals precede real earthquakes, while machine learning continue to search for other indicators
- Limited Capability – Algorithm can only potentially predict earthquake timing, but not magnitude yet
