AI predicts earthquakes with unprecedented accuracy
Researchers at the University of Texas have developed an AI that predicted 70% of earthquakes during a trial in China, indicating potential for future quake risk mitigation. The AI, trained on seismic data, also ranked first in an international competition, underscoring its effectiveness and open

Challenges and Future Directions “Predicting earthquakes is the holy grail,” said Sergey Fomel, a professor in UT’s Bureau of Economic Geology and a member of the research team. The researchers are confident that in places with robust seismic tracking networks such as California, Italy, Japan, Greece, Turkey, and Texas, the AI could improve its success rate and narrow its predictions to within a few tens of miles.
