AI-driven earthquake forecasting shows promis

<p>A new attempt to predict earthquakes&nbsp;has raised hopes that artificial intelligence&nbsp;could one day be used to limit earthquakes&rsquo; impact on lives and economies. Developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, the AI algorithm correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week before they happened during a seven-month trial in China.&nbsp;The system is limited because&nbsp;the AI needs an extensive database and years of seismic recordings to train itself on, but researchers said the effort is nonetheless a milestone for AI-driven earthquake forecasting.&nbsp;Researchers will soon begin testing the system&nbsp;at other&nbsp;locations, including Texas.</p>
