AI Predicts Future Disasters

- Scientists have developed an AI system to predict catastrophic tipping points in complex systems like ecological collapse and pandemics. - The AI combines neural networks to analyze large networks of interacting nodes and their changes over time. - Researchers successfully tested the AI on real-world data, predicting the transformation of tropical forests into savannah. - The AI's predictions could help prepare for or prevent critical transitions, potentially mitigating damage. - Challenges remain, especially in human-involved systems where behavior can alter outcomes, but researchers are optimistic.
