AI's Next Challenge: Predicting Natural Disasters by @kaylaematthews via @dataflloq

Artificial intelligence and related technologies have enabled massive leaps in the fields of marketing, customer service, transportation and industrial processes. AI has even composed music. Its next challenge? Predicting natural disasters and improving the way we respond to them.

This all sounds like an amazing opportunity to look forward to.  I can also see machine learning being used to predict better so we are more prepared, however I think a note of caution needs to be used - there are several downsides including insurance companies using it to adjust premium costs, misinterpretation of results, and over-reliance on something which considering we do not understand it well enough to have certainty, could prove dangerous.
