Abstract

Researchers are using artificial intelligence (AI) to map the underground faults in California and predict natural disasters. By deploying seismometers on the surface, scientists can collect data on seismic waves and analyze them using machine learning algorithms. These algorithms have been successful in identifying previously hidden earthquakes and faults, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the state's geological activity. While AI programs have the potential to enhance earthquake early-warning systems and aid in disaster mitigation, they are seen as tools that complement the work of human scientists rather than replace them.
