Google has developed a global earthquake detection and early warning system utilizing the accelerometers in Android smartphones. This system, detailed in a Science publication, leverages data from millions of devices to identify seismic activity and issue alerts before the most damaging waves arrive. Since its rollout in 2021, the system has detected over 18,000 earthquakes and sent out 790 million alerts across nearly 100 countries, significantly expanding access to early warning systems. AI
