Earthquakes pose significant threats to lives, property and the environment. We are unable to predict the quakes. Even with the use of advanced technology, we are unable to accurately predict when and where the quakes will strike. However, recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) look promising in earthquake prediction.

Scientists across the world are utilizing the power of AI to analyze vast amounts of data related to seismic activity, meteorological conditions as well as the ground movement patterns. Researchers are trying to identify complex patters through machine learning algorithms to forecast earthquakes more accurately. They are studying the past earthquakes through AI-driven approaches to uncover the predictive patterns.

Collaborative efforts between nations are yielding innovative solutions. Scientists from China and Pakistan are together developing an Early Warning System (EWS) by utilizing data from earthquake-prone regions to make timely predictions.

Apart from AI, the researchers are simultaneously integrating IoT technology to enhance earthquake monitoring and earthquake prediction capabilities as well. They are pioneering the use of IoT devices and cloud computing to create comprehensive earthquake monitoring frameworks. Their systems are said to be providing more precise warnings by leveraging real-time data from IoT sensors and enable people to take necessary precautions before the earthquake strikes.

Meanwhile, scientists from Egypt have developed a rapid earthquake intensity determination model. It is called 2 S-ML-EIOS and can assess the severity of an earthquake within two seconds of its initiation. This is seen as crucial for early warning systems. When the model is integrated into centralized IoT systems, it is said can swiftly transmit alerts to authorities and facilitate prompt response measures.

Hence, it can be said that the clubbing of AI and IoT technologies is promising in the prediction of earthquakes.
