  • Summary

  • The sources explore the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in disaster management, particularly for earthquake monitoring and climate forecasting. This burgeoning field offers numerous benefits, including faster, more accurate predictions and more efficient disaster response. However, limitations exist, such as the reliance on reliable data and the lack of transparency in some complex AI models. The article highlights the Global Initiative on Resilience to Natural Hazards through AI Solutions, a United Nations initiative that aims to guide responsible AI implementation in disaster management. The initiative emphasizes the need for collaboration between governments, organizations, and communities, and is actively testing its recommendations through pilot projects in various locations. While private companies are also developing and deploying AI-driven solutions, the sources stress the importance of national meteorological services retaining ownership and control of disaster response, with private companies playing a supporting role.
