Programmers in Japan have used artificial intelligence to simulate an eruption so fierce it could bring the megacity of Tokyo to a standstill. Mount Fuji, a dormant volcano, is a majestic symbol of Japan, lying on a clear day within sight of Tokyo. The last eruption was in 1707, and no one knows when the next might be.
Japan is using AI to simulate a catastrophic eruption of Mount Fuji, showing Tokyo blanketed in volcanic ash. These realistic drills aim to boost disaster preparedness in a country prone to natural disasters. Experts say the simulations, based on historical data, help residents understand the potential impact without causing panic.
