A team of researchers have built an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system that can detect earthquakes faster than any other existing devices.
Engineers from Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) came up with an algorithm that can predict earthquakes before they happen and reduce natural hazards. They published their findings today (14 February) in Science Advances.
