AI is humanity's secret weapon in the hunt for aliens.
AI could prove pivotal as humans attempt to find aliens
Bill Diamond, head of the extraterrestrial research organisation Seti Institute, explained that the search for aliens has been "a needle in a haystack problem" but claims that artificial intelligence has proved to be "indispensable" in the quest to find little green men.
Seti is building an AI-powered system in the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in New Mexico that is going to be able to scan and process data in extraordinary ways.
Diamond said: "There was the question, 'What if there is an alien advanced tech that is using wideband radio?'
"We are looking for science and technology beyond the solar system as evidence of life and intelligence."
