When an earthquake hits, emergency responders need to know which areas to go to first, as quickly as possible. Can artificial intelligence help? Ahmad Wani thinks so. His start-up, One Concern, has developed technology that, within minutes of a tremor, can predict what areas of a town are likely to be worst affected. "I think the product is going to save lives," says Ray Mueller, who is on the emergency services council for San Mateo county in California, which sits over the San Andreas fault. "It'll allow you to identify areas that are most affected by an earthquake so that first responders will know where to go."
