The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute has turned to artificial intelligence and machine learning in its quest to detect signs of alien life, according to Decrypt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe volume of data we generate is growing exponentially every year, and you simply cannot handle it with conventional analysis. AI and machine learning are widely used \u2014 increasingly in SETI, as well as in other scientific fields we engage in,\u201d commented the organization\u2019s CEO, Bill Diamond.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

AI processes data from the Very Large Array<\/span> in New Mexico at a rate of about three terabytes per second. Scientists are training systems to respond to signals that appear unnatural and possess certain distinctive characteristics. <\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence has aided in detecting anomalies in space. <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cYes, they exist, but nothing that could reach the status of a confirmed technosignature. As for anomalous phenomena that may have natural origins, at some point they may yield published research results, but for now, there is still work to be done,\u201d noted Diamond.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Experts are training neural networks on known signals and simulated data to develop a model capable of analyzing even faint suspicious transmissions. <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cInstead of looking for something specific, like a narrowband carrier<\/span>, we can simply say: \u2018Show me something different. Show me anything that deviates from the norm,\u2019\u201d explained Diamond.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Co-host of the Discovery program \u201cAlien Encounters: Fact or Fiction\u201d Mitch Horowitz noted that advancements in artificial intelligence and quantum computing could make the technology a valuable tool in the search for extraterrestrial civilizations. <\/p>\n

However, he expressed skepticism about how much AI will help establish communication between humanity and extraterrestrial intelligence. <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAs a human species, we have a long history of creating things that inform us and also mislead us,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In July, SETI Institute\u2019s Director of Citizen Science, Franck Marchis, and NASA researcher Ignacio Lopez-Francos called for discussions<\/a> on the idea of sending AI into deep space to search for extraterrestrial civilizations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
