Chinese computer scientists have created an AI program that can predict the onset of catastrophic tipping points.

Tipping points are sudden shifts beyond which a localized system, or its environment, changes to an undesirable state from which it is difficult to return.

They want to use the program to forecast ecological collapse, financial crashes, pandemics and power outages.
