Now!!! AI will predict earthquake

Google and Harvard University has teamed up for developing an AI which will
be capable of forecasting aftershocks  of earthquakes.
We are not safe even if the higher intensity earthquake over , it's aftershocks will  terrified us for more than a day.
Yet ,no need to worry because soon earthquake aftershocks prediction will help us move out from this fear.

Using algorithms  to analyze a database of earthquakes occuring around the world  to predict where aftershocks might happen.

"Aftershock forecasting in particular is a challenge that's well-suited to machine learning because there are so many physical phenomena that could influence aftershock behavior and machine learning is extremely good at teasing out those relationships,"  Phoebe DeVries, a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard University.

Artificial intelligence system was trained using earthquake data from around the world, it will predict aftershocks more accurately than the earlier ones .
But still it's a long way to go for the most efficient  aftershock forecasting as the work on AI is not completed yet.

"It's not an idea that's totally out there anymore. And while this result is interesting, I think this is part of a revolution in general about rebuilding all of science in the artificial intelligence era."said in a statement by Brendan Meade ,professor of earth and planetary sciences at Harvard and a co-author on the study .
Earthquake aftershocks are smaller, follow-up quakes that are triggered by the initial starting shock which can roar  around an affected area for months, damaging structures. Though , Scientists can predict the size and timing of these aftershocks to some extent, but knowing the location has been challenging.So, through this research of  Harvard and Google suggest that AI might be able to do so.
The success of artificial intelligence in this domain is thanks to one of the technology’s main plus point: its ability to uncover previously overlooked patterns in complex datasets..
For a start, the AI model only focuses on aftershocks caused by permanent changes to the ground, known as static stress. But follow-up quakes can also be caused by rumblings in the ground that occur later, known as dynamic stress.

“We’re still a long way from actually being able to forecast [aftershocks] but I think machine learning has huge potential here.”Phoebe DeVries,one of the leading researchers on the study told science daily.

These all researches have proved nothing is impossible and  maybe one day prediction of the big quake could also become possible one day..we just need to keep experimenting with science.
