News reporting on earthquake

 The National Capital Region (NCR) -- which includes Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Faridabad -- has witnessed more than 15 earthquakes since April, causing fear and panic among people. The earthquakes were all of mild and medium intensity failed to cause much damage. However, experts say that these small and medium intensity earthquakes are a sign that a major earthquake might struck Delhi-NCR and have appealed people to prepare for the situation. Though some geologists believe that these mild and medium earthquakes are reducing the chances of a major earthquake in the region. 



Professor Chandan Ghosh of the civil engineering department of IIT Jammu said that Delhi falls in the northern region. It is in Zone-4 in terms of earthquake, so it is sensitive. Earthquake centers are also changing due to changes in environment. This is happening due to change in tectonic plates. Delhi is close to the Himalayas, which was formed by mixing of tectonic plates such as India and Eurasia. Due to the movement in these plates, areas like Delhi-NCR, Kanpur and Lucknow are the most prone to earthquakes. Sohna, Mathura and Delhi-Moradabad are the three fault lines near Delhi, due to which the possibility of major earthquake cannot be ruled out

In this paper, I will briefly examine how AI is likely to impact on our lives in the future. Look at the past to guess the future of AI I have outlined in this paper what the age of AI is likely to look like in the future and some of the consequences.
