Tokyo uses AI to warn residents to prepare for the worst with simulation of Mount Fuji erupting  The AI-generated video released by Japanese officials for Volcanic Disaster Preparedness Day in Japan shows a simulation of a potential violent eruption of the active volcano.

00:00That time, I might be able to visit the moment.

00:23When I was born, I thought it would be great.

00:27I thought it would be great.

00:30We have to focus on trying to improve the resilience of people around the volcano.

00:50And one of the best ways to do that is through education.

00:54So this video, although it may seem alarmist,

00:56it's kind of trying to reproduce the worst case scenario,

01:00prepare for the worst, hope for the best sort of thing.

01:03So educating people on what the worst possible scenario is,

01:07I think is a fairly good measure to take in terms of trying to improve preparedness.

01:16The last eruption from Fuji was in 1707.

01:18We don't have any photo or video footage.

01:21We don't have any lived memory of that eruption.

01:24We only have a painting, for example.

01:27Merging that with some AI and giving them this sort of pseudo realistic depiction

01:33of what can actually happen from Fuji in Tokyo,

01:36I think is a fairly good use of technology.

01:47The ash falling in Tokyo could have a number of different effects.

01:50It can close airspace.

01:53Japan's obviously also very reliant on a very good train network.

01:56So an accumulation of ash along the rail networks

01:59would probably halt their sort of transport that way.

02:04Ash is basically ground up pieces of volcanic rock that have been blasted apart in the explosion.

02:09It's very sharp and jagged.

02:10It's essentially a glass.

02:12So it can be very disruptive to ears, nose and throats,

02:15particularly for anything or anyone with sort of asthma or other respiratory illnesses.

02:20There are many many other parts.

02:22They have to be very supportive to trying todriving a way.

02:23There are many different parts.

02:24You can take a look at the timeline where it's at once.

02:25Get up with your own blindness.

02:26You can take a look at the numbers.

02:27Go on with those hidden points.

02:29In a moment from the staircase

02:31on the staircase.

02:31I think that's the worst thing.

02:33I think that's true for you.

02:33One way to celebrate is the worst thing you're at once.

02:36Got to feel the same.

02:37You can take a look at the main part of the man things.

02:37What are the most possible?

02:38I think that's true for you.

02:39And that's true for you.

02:40If it's in a long time.

02:41Well, like, nobody has to be.

02:42What are the most possible?
