What do we expect the echoes of alien civilisations to look like?
Why are radio telescopes a promising way to search for them?
The radio Universe is a noisy place and separating out interesting signals that may point to extra-terrestrial intelligence is a difficult task. In this talk we’ll explore how modern methods in artificial intelligence (AI) are now being used to search for alien techno-signatures in data from the world’s leading radio observatories.
Professor Anna Scaife presents a lecture on Artificial Intelligence and Aliens: how modern astrophysics is searching for extra-terrestrial intelligence.
